Reform UK are the talk of the political steamie following their breakthrough results in England's local elections.
Are they poised to make similar inroads in Scotland?
There had once been a temptation among some of Scotland's political classes to write off Nigel Farage's Reform – and the Brexit Party and UKIP before them – as chiefly an English phenomenon.
But when you start to add up the numbers, their presence feels like a real thing.
A million people in Scotland voted Leave in the EU referendum in 2016, and the Brexit Party went on to finish second in the European Parliament elections here in 2019.
In last year's general election Reform took 7% of the vote – not enough to win any seats, but a serious chunk of the vote for a newly formed vehicle.
