Greene: Offord selected to run Farage’s branch office 

Responding to the news that Lord Malcolm Offord has been selected as Reform’s leader in Scotland, Jamie Greene MSP said:

“I do wonder what it was that first attracted the Reform party to the multi-millionaire Tory donor and peer, Lord Offord? Though it seems Reform has simply turned into a Tory party rebrand, and they ought to suffer the same fate in this year’s election as the Tories.

“Malcolm Offord will be running a branch office for Farage. They are both praying for a time when they can just forget about Scotland altogether.  

“Make no mistake, Reform don’t care about Scotland. They haven’t put forward a single sensible idea for how to fix things. It’s all flannel and froth.  

“Lord Offord would have done better for his home town of Greenock to come and join me in the sensible, centre-ground, not the far-right fringes of populism. Only the Scottish Liberal Democrats have a realistic plan to get our country moving again, without the bitterness and division Offord and his gang will spout in the coming months.”
