It's Farage's big test in Scotland. For years it was a political dead-end for Reform party leader - heckled in Edinburgh, chased from restaurants in Aberdeen, and repeatedly rejected at the ballot box.

Why Labour can't be trusted to defend Britain

4 days ago | telegraph.co.uk | Camilla Tominey |Gordon Rayner

The Strategic Defence Review is out. Designed to be a root and branch look at all aspects of Britain's armed forces, and billed by Labour as a "message to Moscow", the message no doubt reaching the Kremlin is - Keir Starmer doesn't have a clue what he's doing. First of all, the Prime Minister had an "ambition" of raising defence spending to 3 per cent of GDP in the next parliament.
