Unless it’s those Scots detained by a foreign state while attempting to cross a border, of course.

[Reform UK Scotland @ReformUKScot]

Green MSP Kate Nevens, and SNP MP Lara Bird were both detained by Israeli authorities attempting to cross from Jordan into the West Bank.

One could ask why they’re not here prioritising their constituents 🤔

Reform ➡️ will always put Scots First.

Scots living in the most deprived parts of the country are five times more likely to die from alcohol abuse than those staying in the richest, new NRS figures show.

The overall number of deaths from alcohol dropped by three per cent last year.
