Amanda Bland has left Reform and will sit as an independent member at Holyrood, changing the party’s position within the Scottish Parliament.
Her departure means Reform is now the third-largest group at Holyrood. The party has one fewer member than Labour following Bland’s decision.
The change affects the make-up of the parliamentary groups, although no further details about the reasons for Bland’s departure or her future role as an independent were provided in the supplied information. Reform’s new position follows the loss of one of its members, while Bland will continue at Holyrood outside the party group.
