The SNP’s pious anti-Reform summit had no answers

John Swinney held summit to show 'strength of unity' against rise of the far right in Scotland .

Reform UK has surged in the opinion polls and looks likely to have a haul of MSPs in the teens.

But he seemed reluctant to let the party’s name pass his lips in Glasgow .

Most of the votes Reform is winning come from Conservatives and Labour , and far fewer from the Nats.

Occupying a hardline anti-Reform position doesn’t cause the First Minister many electoral problems, especially given the progressive nature of modern SNP support.

But does this posturing get us anywhere that matters?.
