(BBC) Scottish Labour has described a Reform UK social media advert featuring Anas Sarwar as “blatantly racist.”
The online video posted ahead of a by-election in South Lanarkshire features text which says: “Anas Sarwar has said he will prioritise the Pakistani community.”
Labour accused Reform of questioning Sarwar’s “identity, loyalty and belonging.”
Reform insisted the advert was not racist and said it had no plans to remove it.
According to Meta’s advert library, the post has been running on Facebook and Instagram since 12 May and cost Reform between £8,000 and £9,000.
