JOHN SWINNEY urged Scots today not to “sit back” and assume the politics of the far-right will not take hold in the country.

The First Minister will host a cross-party summit tomorrow in Glasgow which will discuss tackling the rise of far-right populism.

Mr Swinney has invited representatives from trade unions, charities, churches and community groups to the event to discuss groups such as Nigel Farage’s Reform UK.
