Ash Regan, a former Alba and SNP MSP, claims that Nigel Farage tried to "smooth talk" her into joining Reform UK after a chance meeting at a party hosted by The Spectator magazine.
I'm expecting that they will announce that they are a Unionist party and my political views are very much pro-independence, so I could never be in any way tempted to go to a Unionist party.
Regan, who recently left Alba to become an independent MSP, stated that she will not be joining Reform's ranks due to their differing political views.
Ash Regan: "If I was a careerist, I would have taken that offer."
