Senga Beresford

Senga Beresford is a Scottish politician serving as a Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) for the South Scotland region since May 2026. She stood as a candidate for the Galloway and West Dumfries constituency in the 2026 Scottish Parliament election before securing her regional seat. During her campaign, Beresford faced public scrutiny regarding past social media activity from 2024, which included controversial comments on immigration and political figures. Reform UK leadership subsequently distanced the party from these remarks, characterizing them as intemperate language from before her tenure with the party.
