How Reform 'accidentally' tried to ban Scots and Gaelic
from The National Podcast · host The National Podcast
Editor Laura Webster and Political Reporter Steph Brawn present Wednesday's National Podcast LIVE. They discuss how Reform UK have backtracked after a 'mess up' to an amendment that was drafted which would have seen political material in Gaelic become illegal in Scotland. Reform claim that criminalising Gaelic or Scots in Scotland had not been the “intention” of the amendment and that "there was an administrative mess up.” They added: “The amendment was intended for England and Wales. So, if you're publishing election material in Hartlepool in Gaelic, then yeah [it would be criminalised].” Meanwhile Douglas Alexander has instructed Scots to support England in tonight's game.
