Summary
Reform UK’s deputy leader Thomas Kerr is slamming Unison, Scotland’s biggest trade union, for boycotting their conferences — calling it a betrayal of union members who support Reform. Unison says no thanks, arguing Reform’s policies would slash jobs, gut public services, and blame immigrants — and they won’t fund events that promote those ideas. Kerr counters that polls show strong public sector backing for Reform, and without Unison’s input, Reform’s strategy will suffer — a loss for Scotland. This is the first time Unison has skipped a Holyrood party’s conference since the pandemic, as Reform UK surges with 17 seats and eyes more gains ahead.
