Amanda Bland: “I will not be making any further statements or giving interviews regarding Reform UK.”

Scotland deserves a government that is relentlessly focused on preventing crime, backing our police officers, protecting victims and ensuring criminals face swift and meaningful consequences.

Graffiti is a scourge on our communities and one of the most glaring signs of neglect and decline.

To confirm today, I have formally resigned from Reform UK Scotland. This is my decision, made after careful deliberation.

I entered politics to champion fairness and common sense, protect women and children, improve public services, support businesses to thrive, and work towards a fairer and more effective criminal justice system.
