The SNP, Reform UK and 2026 – David Linden, SNP candidate

In this episode, David Linden, a candidate for the SNP, shares his journey and motivations for running in the upcoming Holyrood election. Having previously served as a Westminster MP, Linden discusses his return to politics after a stint in the private sector. He emphasises the importance of experienced candidates in the evolving landscape of Scottish politics, particularly as the SNP faces challenges related to independence and public service reform. Linden highlights the socio-economic issues in his constituency, Glasgow Baillieston and Shettleston, such as high unemployment and health inequalities, and underscores the need for effective communication and policy solutions to address these challenges. In his own words, his candidacy reflects a commitment to contributing to Scotland's future, both in terms of governance and the ongoing constitutional debate.
