The Reform UK leader told the Sunday Mail Scotland would be seeing “much more” from him ahead of a by-election in Hamilton.

The English mayoral and local elections on Thursday saw Reform take control of 10 councils, two mayoralties and add another MP to their ranks.

Now the party's focus will shift to Scotland for the Holyrood vote next year and the June 5 by-election in Hamilton.

Farage said: "Scotland is going to be seeing a lot more of me very soon."

A senior Reform UK source said Farage would be welcomed in Scotland, adding: "You certainly won't see the same thing as 2013 when Nigel was locked in a pub in the Royal Mile.
