HERE'S something happening out there. We can all feel it. A growing sense of anxiety and anger is directed at Scotland's political establishment.

- Thomas Kerr

People supporting us are not far right, they are just right

For years, working-class communities have felt ignored and forgotten. On immigration, both legal and illegal, that sense of neglect is especially sharp.

Scotland's old parties have refused to face this issue. The SNP and Labour both cheerlead for open borders, so it's no surprise they won't act.

This summer, thousands of people in Perth, Aberdeen and Falkirk protested outside migrant hotels, saying enough is enough. Do you blame them? I don't.

Across Glasgow and beyond, communities are reclaiming their identity. Patriots are flying the Saltire and Union Jack from lampposts, proudly declaring their love for Scotland.

The country is at boiling point yet both our Prime Minister and First Minister are missing in action.

That's why Reform UK Leader, Nigel Farage MP, has unveiled the most comprehensive plan yet to deter, detain, and deport those who enter illegally and why I am proud he is in Scotland today.

REFORM UK's plan is clear: close every migrant hotel in Britain and instead use disused MOD bases to process and hold those who arrive illegally. In his first 100 days in No10, Nigel would remove Britain from the European Court of Human Rights and take back control of our borders.
