Offord appointment shows Reform is party of super-rich
The appointment of millionaire Lord Malcolm Offord as leader of Reform shows that it is the party of the super rich, says Scottish Green Co-leader Gillian Mackay.
Gillian said:
“Malcolm Offord is one of the wealthiest and most right-wing people to ever lead a political party in Scotland.
"As a Tory Minister and major donor he backed some of the cruellest and most punishing policies pursued by any UK government this century.
“It goes to show whose interests Reform really has at heart. They are the party of millionaires and the super-rich.
“Reform’s campaign will be bankrolled by a lot of the people who poured money into the Tories and benefited from policies that led to mass cuts and plunged families all over Scotland into poverty.
“This May, every vote for the Scottish Greens will be a vote for a fairer, greener and independent Scotland and to reject the failed Tory tribute policies of Reform.”
