What can the Tories do to defeat Reform? | LBC

Labour recorded a shock victory in the Holyrood by-election, seizing the Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse seat from the SNP. The win comes despite Scotland's First Minister John Swinney having declared the contest to be a two-horse race between the SNP and Nigel Farage's Reform. Reform UK sources expected the party to come third in the by-election and both Labour and the SNP feared a possible surge for the seat from Nigel Farage's group. With the possibility of Reform becoming the second largest party at the next general election, what can the Conservatives do to pull back voters? Former adviser to Keir Starmer Peter Hyman and top pollster Sir John Curtice join Matt Frei to discuss the fallout from the recent by-elections.
