Nigel Farage’s Reform Party is now polling at levels that suggest it could seriously shake up the next general election — and possibly return a significant number of MSPs at the next Holyrood vote. But while the headlines are big, the substance behind them is thin, especially when it comes to helping working families in Scotland.
Farage’s go-to tactic is to point fingers — usually at immigrants and vulnerable groups — blaming them for everything from NHS waiting times to low wages and the housing crisis. But what you won’t hear much from him about is the staggering inequality that’s grown under successive governments. The kind that’s seen ordinary workers squeezed while the ultra-wealthy continue to thrive.
