A Reform source said Nigel Farage's team will impose the candidates for May's poll.

The insider said: "London HQ have dictated most of this process. Members will not have a say on candidates."

Polls show Reform could come second at the election after surging across the UK.

It recently boasted having 12,500 members in Scotland - more than most other parties.
