VIDEO: Is Scotland ready for Nigel Farage?

Not on the evidence of the past few days
13

Yes, this sixty-something boomer has done another video. Whatever next? A TikTok dance? Maybe not.

Today I talk about my latest column in The Times. I ask if we in Scotland are ready for the rise of Nigel Farage and Reform UK.

I suggest not. I explain why we need to get ourselves into a new headspace, especially when it comes to the tone we take in our day-to-day politics.
