Reform's Scottish leader says he owns six houses, six boats and five cars
⚡ TL;DR · AI summary

Reform UK's Scottish leader Malcolm Offord stated he owns six houses, six boats and five cars during a Holyrood election debate, drawing criticism for appearing entitled, particularly from Green co-leader Ross Greer who argued such wealth exacerbates Scotland's housing crisis. Offord defended his success as the result of hard work and job creation, while other party leaders clashed over healthcare, cost of living, and post-election coalition possibilities. Labour's Anas Sarwar accused the SNP of secrecy over the Glasgow hospital scandal, and Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton signaled willingness to support Labour while negotiating with the SNP on budgets. The debate, one of the final televised events before the 7 May election, highlighted familiar policy disputes and growing scrutiny of leadership credibility.
