Richard Tice was asked to name the two Reform UK defectors he was about to announce and it’s the entire party summed up in 30 seconds flat
Reform UK deputy leader at the time of writing Richard Tice was in Glasgow and among his duties was to delight in two new Reform UK defectors joining his party. Not MPs, you understand, just councillors, but it is what it is, right?
And we mention this because Tice was asked, not unreasonably, to name these two councillors – Ross Lambie of South Lanarkshire Council and John Gray of Renfrewshire Council – since you ask – and what happened next surely sums up the state of Reform in 30 seconds flat.

It’s Tom Gordon asking the question and was Tice A) playing hard to get B) building excitement and anticipation or C) dying on his arse? You decide!
And here’s precisely what people made of that.

They’re just bigots . They hate Scots as much as any ‘unEnglish ‘ people. We all know Fuhrage is terrified of the Scots . Well done Scotland.

Reform in Scotland just collapses under the mildest scrutiny, partly because it isn’t a real party https://t.co/hIGQaJEPVl
