Farage tells heckler ‘get a haircut’ after protesters disrupt Reform conference

Nigel Farage told a heckler "you need a haircut" after protesters interrupted the Reform UK leader's speech in Scotland.

People in the audience began shouting as soon as Mr Farage started to speak at the unveiling of his party's candidates and manifesto for the Scottish Parliament election.

"You need a haircut, mate," Mr Farage told the demonstrator, who was jeered by the audience as he was taken out of the room.

"Wow, go back to work. No, sorry, you haven't got a job, have you?"

Mr Farage predicted Reform will be the official opposition at Holyrood after the May elections.

He said: "Scottish politics up until this point has been very, very hostile to any other voice.

"They may go on being hostile to our voice but you know something now, they can't stop us."
