brings Reform UK back to 5 MPs


[Nigel Farage announced the defection
of Graham Simpson in Broxburn]




[Conservative MSP Graham Simpson has
defected to Reform.

Simpson announced his move
as he appeared at a press conference
in Scotland with Reform leader Nigel Farage.
The new Reform MSP told journalists that many
would not be surprised to see him defect,
and that leaving the Conservatives was
"an enormous wrench".

He is the second MSP to leave the party's
Holyrood group in the past week.
A Scottish Conservative spokesperson said the
party remained focused on
"holding the SNP and Labour to account".

"The Scottish Conservatives are determined
to provide positive common-sense solutions
to drive our economy forward,
so we can reduce NHS waiting lists and invest more
in education," the party said.]

Reform could be in a good part soon only consisting of former already failed or due to fail Conservatives, along with sympathisers of the National Front, BNP and EDL connections.
