Reform UK have announced their Scottish Candidates for the 2026 Scottish Parliamentary Elections.
Let's start with Senga Beresford (@BeresfordSenga) - seen at the launch today in this pic.
Senga likes Tommy Robinson. She says she's "Behind him all the way": archive.is/S2sCc
It's not the only time she's clearly supported him: xitter.cf/BeresfordSenga/status/…
Then there's Britain First: xitter.cf/BeresfordSenga/status/…
She's clearly happy to interact with the far-right.
@reformparty_uk, is this really the sort of candidate you want in Scotland?

Top @ScotTories team out in #Dumfries today where it’s clear that the May 7 Holyrood election is a straight choice between me and the SNP.
A vote for any other party hands the Nationalists a win here.
💙
Thank you to everyone who joined me on the doorsteps in a Dumfries today!
Right across Dumfries and Galloway and wider South of Scotland the @ScotTories are the only party standing up to and in a position to beat the SNP.
Thank you @DGVost and on the ground @dgcouncil teams, emergency partners, farmers, lone chainsaw heroes who have all more than stepped up today. Sleep well when it comes 🙌🤍🙌

“For me the USP for milk is nature’s superfood. As soon as we start playing with chemical additives that are questionable what sets milk apart from any other ultraprocessed shit? If it’s not good enough for us and our public consumers don’t want it what makes them think it’s good enough for our cows and the consumers will accept it?” 🥛

In awe what we take for granted on our doorstep. Hunkered down in the wonderful Bridge Hotel. 50 mph winds didn’t deter a good walk on Buttermere & food, service second to none. HRH enjoyed his broccoli 🥦sausage dinners, breakfasts, swims 🐕 Beaut R&R 🙌🏻🤍

Of all the interviews I’ve seen this is simply the best. Worth just a few minutes of your time to listen to. @RachelReevesMP @KemiBadenoch @mometfisher

Today I spoke to thousands of farmers to relay a simple message👇
Labour don’t get farming. Their family farm tax is going to destroy farming as we know it.
If we want to reverse this, we’re going to have to fight.

Thank-you everyone for your support today 👍👍👍👍
I think we made our point ……. their numbers are wrong !
We left the streets clean and tidy, there was no trouble 👍👍👍👍
When cleaning up I came across these, which I’ve left at the gates of Downing street

Please do feel free to share the post below. Its important a) people realise the financial danger of missing council tax repayments b) that the pressure is put on to make the system better
Miss one Council Tax monthly payment and within 3wks they can make you pay for the whole year! My response after listening to a case study who’s finances were wrecked by this.

If Labour think the #familyfarmtax is an issue few care about they are about to get a shock. Britain understands what this means for how we farm, animal welfare, stewardship of the countryside, food security and prices. I came today from Portsmouth. No farms there, but massive support for these families and their communities. @NFUPolitical @portsmouthnews

Something beautiful about hearing every regional accent and seeing a tidal wave of battered wax jackets, muddied wellies, and tattered flat caps descend upon London
Once upon a time, millers, farmers, wool merchants, and grain traders came here as the hub of British commerce.
Our countryside came to our capital today. Ruddy faced and wondrous. And I loved to see it
