Greene comments on Reform's Scottish campaign collapse

Responding to the news that two more Reform UK Holyrood election candidates have withdrawn their candidacies this morning — bringing the party's total number of dropouts to four — Scottish Liberal Democrat Jamie Greene MSP said:

"As the wheels continue to come off Reform's Scottish campaign, Lord Offord continues to prove he and his party should be nowhere near politics or power.

"Two candidates have dropped out because of 'administrative errors', one because of shady business dealings during Covid, and another after calling Humza Yousaf an 'Islamist moron'. Good riddance, yes, but it's not enough.

"We found out this week that Lord Offord has a vile sense of 'humour' that makes him unfit for public office, while another Reform candidate is still standing despite having publicly backed Tommy Robinson.

"I wouldn’t be surprised if there are yet more skeletons in the closet and candidates dropping out in the coming weeks."
