Scottish Conservative Peer Defects to Reform UK

Scottish Conservative Peer Joins Reform UK

Lord Malcolm Offord, previously a Conservative business and Scotland Office minister, has switched his allegiance to Reform UK.

He stated on Twitter:

"I have defected from the Scottish Conservative Party to Reform UK. I can no longer support the party’s approach."

This move reflects growing dissatisfaction within some Conservative ranks about the party's direction, especially regarding issues related to Scotland.

Offord served in ministerial roles under the Conservative government, focusing on business and Scottish affairs before making this political shift.

His defection marks a notable change amid ongoing debates about the future of the United Kingdom and the rising support for alternative political platforms.


This political defection highlights fractures within the Conservative Party in Scotland and signals increasing momentum for Reform UK’s agenda.
