The Tory leader warned voters that support for Reform UK would benefit the SNP.
Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch accused Reform UK of "counting their chickens" ahead of the Holyrood election, warning that support for Reform would benefit the SNP. This followed Reform UK's deputy leader Richard Tice claiming the Scottish Tories were "finished." Badenoch acknowledged her own party's "difficult position" and dismissed internal Reform UK infighting as a "sideshow." Reform UK responded by stating that Badenoch's party has been routinely beaten by them in Glasgow and across Central Scotland, further suggesting that the Tories should step aside.
