Three candidates who are standing against one another for the Scottish Election on 7 May, stood together today sharing their reasons for ‘Stopping Reform.
Kristopher Leask, Scottish Green candidate Highlands and Islands Region; Robert Leslie, Scottish National Party, Orkney Constituency; and Mike Macleod, Labour, Orkney Constituency, were helping volunteers to hand out leaflets produced by Stand Up to Racism which illustrated 5 reasons not to vote for Nigel Farage and his Reform Party.
Trump supporting Nigel Farage is currently in the media for £5million given to him by a Thai millionaire Christopher Harborne in 2024, just before he announced he would stand in the UK General Election. Nigel Farage failed to declare this ‘gift’ – Elections watchdog considers looking into £5m gift to Farage.
