Nigel Farage has introduced Graham Simpson MSP to Reform UK, following his defection from the Scottish Conservatives.

Making the announcement at a press conference in Edinburgh, the leader of Reform UK said: "The intention of today's press conference is and it's part of showing you how seriously we are taking the Scottish Parliament elections.

"It's for me to introduce Graham Simpson MSP. He's been in the parliament since 2017 for central Scotland. He, of course, has been a Conservative, but I understand, Graham, that may be about to change. We are very, very delighted Graham that you've made this decision."
