SNP leader John Swinney rules out Holyrood talks with Reform UK

John Swinney, leader of the SNP, has ruled out any negotiations with Reform UK as his party seeks to return to government after winning the Holyrood elections. The SNP, seven seats short of a majority, will need to rely on other parties to reinstall Swinney as first minister. Swinney emphasized the need to unite Scotland to protect against the influence of Nigel Farage while expressing his desire to secure a referendum on independence.
