Swinney accuses Reform of racism over Sarwar advert

First Minister John Swinney has accused Reform UK of a “racist attack” on Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar.

Both the SNP and Labour have complained to Facebook’s parent company Meta about a Reform advert running on the site ahead of a South Lanarkshire by-election.

The video features text claiming Sarwar “will prioritise the Pakistani community”.

Reform has denied the video is racist and said it has no plans to take it down.
