I'm Cory with the story, and you've been listening to Europe News today, AI-powered European coverage. Reform UK Scotland is hinting they might bring back a controversial attack, add targeting Scottish Labour leader Anna Tsarwar, the one claiming he'd put. The Pakistani community first, if he became First Minister. At a press conference in Glasgow's East End, senior reform figure Thomas Kerr, who's running for Holyrood, said he wouldn't rule it out, standing next. The party leader Lord Malcolm offered, in front of Van's blasting messages about migrants overwhelming Scotland. Tsarwar, born in Glasgow to Pakistani parents, and First Minister John Swinney slammed the original ad as racist, it used clips of him pushing for more. South Asian representation, twisted to suggest favoritism, and reform spent thousands airing it on social media. Kerr defended it as fair scrutiny for a potential First Minister, while offered laid out plans to use the wall powers like housing to crack down on.

Migration, even though it's mostly reserved to Westminster, no deals on the horizon either. Offered rule out teaming up with Labour over clashing views on economic growth, and with Holyrood's proportional system. Likely forcing coalitions, this few could shape who ends up running Scotland.
