SACKED

NIGEL Farage's Reform party organiser in Scotland has been sacked after a Record probe into his family's links to a Loyalist terror plot.

Craig Campbell was removed as Scottish organiser of the right-wing party after we revealed his late dad was a UVF commander who was jailed following the bombing of Catholic pubs in Glasgow.

His cousin Jason Campbell was also caged after he murdered Celtic fan Mark Scott by cutting his throat in an evil attack that shocked the country.

Reform rising star Campbell, 52, also had images on his own Facebook which compared the SNP to the Nazis.

After his family links were revealed, a Reform UK Scotland spokesman said: "Craig Campbell is no longer a Reform UK Scotland organiser. Reform UK Scotland will not tolerate discrimination of anyone in any form." Last night, there were calls for Reform to root out extremism within its ranks.

Speaking before the sacking, Labour MSP Paul O'Kane said: "Scots will be deeply concerned that a man with family links to sectarian violence and murderous paramilitary gangs was at the heart of Reform UK's electoral machine in Scotland."
