At Reform UK’s Scottish conference, we’re onto media questions. GB News up first - big cheers from the crowd. BBC second - booing, which Nigel Farage intervenes to stop. STV third - more booing.

My output on this platform is very limited these days…but it’s about to get more so. Delighted to say I’m off for a period of paternal leave. Swapping politics for some other pastimes (🥛 💦 💩 ) Will be back working in plenty time for the election!

Whitburn and Blackburn, West Lothian. The first place in Scotland to elect a Reform UK representative. I spent the day there this week, and found a lot of people who were "fed up". Some saw Reform as the answer. Others didn't. Story in next post 👇

I spent some of my Saturday at Reform UK’s rally in Falkirk. Immigration was a big issue, but I’d suggest the crowd was more animated by net zero/de-industrialisation. And, in Lord Offord, has the party now found their Scottish leader? Link below 👇

UK Govt is doubling down. Chief sec to the treasury says “The UK government only pays for security costs when the visit is an official visit on the back of a formal invitation and that wasn’t the case this time”

EXC: Scottish and UK governments are at loggerheads over who pays policing costs for Donald Trump's trip to Scotland in July Scot Gov say these were "clearly not private visits" But UK ministers say there was no official invite, so Scot Gov foots the bill Full story below...

Public finance minister Ivan McKee tells #bbcgms it’s “ridiculous” that Keir Starmer expects to “swan up here, spend time with the president….but then expect us to pay for UK international affairs that just happen to be happening on Scottish soil”

That’s a wrap - @mmgeissler signs off from presenting #BBCSundayShow after 5 years. Top presenter bows out (though the good news is he’s sticking with the BBC…more details to come).
