Reform's Offord Says He Owns Six Houses, Six Boats and Five Cars

Offord said he owns six houses, five cars and six boats as opponents pressed him to explain his wealth and property holdings.

  • During Tuesday's STV election debate, Reform UK's Scottish leader Malcolm Offord revealed he owns six houses, five cars, and six boats, drawing immediate criticism from political rivals.
  • Defending his portfolio, Offord said he moved to London 40 years ago "full of ambition" and built a career employing thousands while paying "£45m in tax."
  • Scottish Greens co-leader Ross Greer replied, "Fewer people like you," noting there are three times as many holiday homes and empty properties as homeless children in Scotland.
  • First Minister John Swinney accused Offord of having "poisoned" the campaign "with racist, intolerant and homophobic views," calling the disclosure "completely and utterly out of touch."
  • As the May 7 Holyrood election nears, Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton signaled willingness to lay "aside our differences where we can find common ground" on future budgets.
