Nigel Farage U-turns on plan to scrap all MSPs and put Scottish MPs in Holyrood instead
The Reform UK leader once wanted a watered down parly when he bossed the Ukip party U-TURN Nigel Farage U-turns on plan to scrap all MSPs and put Scottish MPs in Holyrood instead Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NIGEL Farage has U-turned on a plan to scrap all MSPs and put Scottish MPs in Holyrood instead. The Reform UK leader wanted a watered down parly when he bossed the Ukip party — but now concedes 'devolution is here to stay'. 1 Nigel Farage says devolution is here to stay Credit: Getty But he told The Scottish Sun: 'I don't think you can turn the clock back. We're not going to reverse devolution.' Mr Farage previously wanted to axe our parliament as we know it and put Scotland's Westminster politicians in there when they decide on Scottish-only matters. Reform surged to third in last week's Hamilton by-election — fewer than 1,500 votes behind winners Labour. Farage — bookies' favourite to be the next PM — hit out at 'excesses of the Scottish Parliament' such as whopping construction costs and 'the fact that it's really failed quite badly to deliver on some of its key objectives — education in particular, and health'. He said: 'The job now is to make sure it's done better.' Reform grabbed 26.1 per cent of the vote last week, the SNP 29.4 per cent and Labour 31.6 per cent. Farage's party is tipped to grab at least a dozen MSPs at the 2026 election — but has been criticised for a lack of devolved policies. Asked how his party would spend £10billion if they had power in Scotland, Mr Farage said: 'What about creating money? What about creating wealth and jobs? What about upping the average income of people living in Scotland? That's my priority.' Reform has published a one-page, 200-word 'position paper' which states: 'We have a vision where personal liberty and free speech are respected and promoted, support is available when needed, but life is largely untrammelled by government interference.' It also plugs 'traditional Scottish values' like 'integrity, thrift, hard work and tolerance'. Dark curse ravaging 'UK's best high street' On independence, it says Scotland should stay as a 'full and respected member of the UK

Edinburgh's pink perfect summer – the city's first rosé wine trail taking flight
Edinburgh is about to get a rosy glow this summer with the launch of the city's inaugural Rosé Wine Trail. This promises to be a delightful journey transforming a typical afternoon or evening out into a sophisticated wine adventure exploring different areas of the city – great if you have friends visiting. The trail features three distinguished venues from the Signature Group: McLarens on the Corner in Morningside, The Huxley on Rutland Street, and Copper Blossom on George Street, each offering its own unique atmosphere. Wine enthusiasts can indulge in carefully curated rosé selections, creative rosé-inspired cocktails, or opt for the complete experience with a tasting flight. The £15 flight offers three 125ml glasses each of the crisp Mirabello Adria Vini from Lombardia, Italy; the classic Château Routas from Côtes de Provence, France; and the sophisticated M by Minuty, also from Côtes de Provence. For those seeking bubbles, the selection extends to include Della Vite Rosé Sparkling from Valdobbiadene and their non-alcoholic sparkling alternative for designated drivers and non-drinkers. The experience goes beyond just wine, with each venue offering an array of carefully crafted small bites designed to complement the rosé selection. Expect indulgent treats like baked Camembert served with focaccia croutons and fresh crudités, aromatic garlic-buttered flatbreads paired with pomegranate and baked beetroot hummus, perfectly charred tikka skewers, and the uniquely Scottish touch of haggis bon bons accompanied by blistered Padrón peppers. The trail operates on a delightfully interactive passport system – collect your free passport from any participating venue, gather stamps from each stop, and you'll be entered into a draw for the ultimate prize: a dreamy getaway to Provence, the very heart of rosé country. This summer initiative perfectly captures Edinburgh's evolving food and drink scene, combining the city's love for quality wine with its appetite for culinary exploration. Whether you're a rosé aficionado or simply curious about pink wine, this trail offers an accessible and enjoyable way to discover new flavours while exploring different corners of the city.
