Scottish Political Drama: Swinney vs Farage

Scottish First Minister John Swinney is accused of inadvertently aiding Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, by organizing an anti-Reform summit. Critics argue Swinney is distracting from the SNP's failures in governing the NHS and education. The summit aims to block Reform from gaining seats in the next Scottish elections despite their rising support in polls. Swinney defends the summit as necessary to protect democracy. Political rivals, including Scottish Tories and Liberal Democrats, criticize the move as a political stunt and misuse of taxpayer money.
