The Motherwell Wishaw and Carluke Reform candidate, similar to the Glasgow one in this video, has no profile photo, no social media presence and no LinkedIn.
I normally wouldn't entertain a conspiracy theory like this but this is Nigel Farage we're talking about. To have one invisible candidate would be fucking suss, but to have at least two, especially given Farage's tortured relationships both with electoral integrity and the truth in general, just gets my spidey-senses tingling.
Has anyone actually seen photographic evidence that these, or any other Scottish Reform candidates in less headline-grabbing seats are real?

Would be hilarious if it’s just Nigel Farage with a mustache on. I definitely do not recognize the name in my area but then again it could be anyone.
As long as the card payment goes through for candidate status, farage doesn’t care.
Having no social media history is probably a good thing for a reform candidate.
The one for west Aberdeenshire is and is a law student at the Aberdeen Uni.
The Reform Candidate in Bellshill and Coatbridge constituency has a registered address in England for the seat, which means it’s utterly pointless to vote Reform in that area.
Think the candidate for reform for my constituency is based – in Shropshire!
It’s not even a party – it’s a company owned by Farage?!
The Reform candidate for Angus & Perthshire Glens is a real person and a Scot at that, just seems like a disillusioned right wing Tory tbh

Strangely enough the Labour candidate for the seat is a councillor in Canterbury?

The area has always been traditionally very split between the SNP and Tories, Labour is virtually non existent. Still surprised they couldn’t get someone who lives in Scotland for the job though 🤷🏻♀️
Whichever area votes the candidate in it will be revealed to be Big Nige in a latex mask
The Ayr one is real, has an online presence and is ex Navy, but still a gobshite
Did a bit of digging into a couple of the Fife ones and couldn’t find much.
Not all reform candidates are dumb enough to plaster their racism online I guess.
My local one is Stefan Garbowski. Who sent me an invite to join Nextdoor that came through the letterbox this morning. Do other Reform candidates use that?
The one here (Edinburgh South) is a former Conservative councillor who I’ve seen out canvassing/leafletting several times in the last fortnight.
Did they not tell reform candidates to delete social media till after the election
Aberdeenshire north and moray east seems to be a mlm women with alternative healing according to LinkedIn
They are avatars cobbled together with unrequited love, rage, bile, bitterness, bluster and a large dash of lunacy.
Vile spawn of that Frog-Faced-Fecker-Farage.
Ours exists unfortunately. Here’s part of her .. speech?
“I have the words for how this makes me feel, I’m just not allowed to put them here.”
Very professional. Yes, this is totally who I want running our country.

The Falkirk candidate had a North Shropshire address. Says it all.
They film a lot of the announcements, I guess you could just look for the person with a sky blue rosette and swivel eyes.
Western isles one is and refused all interviews with local media, and zero canvassing. Chequered history also
Let’s see where nationalism get you.
Here is the Instagram of the Motherwell and Wishaw candidate for Reform UK
https://www.instagram.com/r.mclaughlan98?igsh=MXg5YmU0YTk3YjZxZw==
Has the same name as registered, and has commented “I am the candidate for Motherwell and Wishaw” on Richard Tice’s account. Specifically on this post: https://www.instagram.com/p/C8hRTJjt96Q/?igsh=MWl6OW1mZHpidHl5bQ==
You can find his ‘old’ account on the account linked where you can see the professionalism of Reform UK. His current account is private. Seems to be genuine but just a totally random guy with no publicity or outreach whatsoever outside of commenting on Tice’s account. Sure, anyone can impersonate the Reform candidate with the same name, but if this is the only publicity….
