Summary of The National Newspaper
The National front page this morning – summarised
The front page of the Scottish newspaper The National reports on the Conservative Party joining Reform UK on an anti-migrant attack.
- A SCOTTISH Tory motion “condemning” free bus travel for asylum seekers has been overwhelmingly rejected by MSPs.
The Conservatives had faced criticism from the SNP, Greens, Labour, and LibDems after tabling the controversial motion, which saw them accused of a “dog whistle attack on asylum seekers”.
The Tories’ condemnation of free bus travel for asylum seekers drew criticism from the First Minister and a joint intervention from the Scottish Catholic Church and the Church of Scotland.
