Nigel Farage will have "much more" of a presence in Scotland as Reform UK ramps up its election campaign.

Kerr said: "You will certainly see Nigel Farage much more up here in Scotland – he is very excited about the opportunity we have, he is looking forward to being on the streets of Scotland and taking our message to people."

But the truth is, the main parties here have long been concerned about the possible impact of Nigel Farage's party.

Asked if it was feasible that Reform UK leader Nigel Farage could be the next prime minister, she said "anything is feasible", noting Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese had won re-election this week after trailing in the polls.

However, his main rivals think that event, which excluded Reform UK, elevated Nigel Farage's party in the Scottish national debate.
