Almost half Tory members want merger with Reform UK, poll suggests, as leadership infighting escalates

John Swinney must step aside as SNP leader to make way for a “fresh start” under Kate Forbes and Stephen Flynn, one of the party’s former MPs has said. At the election the SNP lost 39 of the 48 seats it won in 2019.

Douglas Chapman, who stood down as Dunfermline and West Fife MP at the recent election, told the Herald newspaper: I believe we really do need that fresh start, that fresh impetus, and we need to look to our members to provide that and to be brutally honest with the leadership of the party about what they think has gone wrong and what they think the solutions might be.
