Scottish Tory leadership candidate calls for reconnection with Reform voters
Russell Findlay

A SCOTTISH Tory leadership candidate said today that if his party is to hang on to its Holyrood seats, it must “reconnect” with voters who have turned to Nigel Farage’s hard-right Reform UK.

Russell Findlay was responding to a poll showing that Reform could win eight seats in the Scottish Parliament, with the Scottish Tories going from 31 to 18 at the next Holyrood election.

At the July general election, Reform took 7 per cent of the vote in Scotland.
