Video Description

Scottish politics has been dominated by the pro-independence SNP for decades with the main British parties forming a fractured opposition. But now the growth of right-wing Reform UK, already topping every poll south of the border, is making inroads in Scotland too. Reform is polling second place to the SNP after overtaking Labour - could Nigel Farage’s party become the main opposition in the Scottish Parliament?
