Planet Holyrood 27/08/25 - Nigel Farage returns to Edinburgh as Jeremy Corbyn eyes gains at Holyrood

mercredi 27 août 2025Duration 39:45

Lanarkshire voters now have a Reform MSP after Central Scotland member Graham Simpson announced his defection from the Conservatives to Nigel Farage’s party. Simpson, who has represented the electoral region comprising all of North and most of South Lanarkshire since 2016, revealed his decision at a press conference alongside the Reform leader – saying: “I’ve joined because we have a chance to create something new, lasting and exciting.” Meanwhile, Jeremy Corbyn is set to launch a new socialist party with fellow MP Zarah Sultana. Provisionally called ‘Your Party’, it has attracted around 800,000 supporters and a branch in Glasgow is set to launch. Contesting next year’s Holyrood election would be Corbyn’s first major electoral test. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

John Swinney’s dubious claim that independence is “within reach” is a sign of weakness, says the Daily Record's Paul Huctheon. Defeat at the recent Holyrood by-election has led to bizarre calls for Swinney to quit and the mutterings about the lack of a plan to deliver independence grew louder, so the First Minister has doubled down on his aims and ideas for independence.
