Malcolm Offord has refused to answer questions about why he posed for pictures with a porn star who had just launched a foul-mouthed rant against voters.
Reform UK’s Scottish leader maintained a grim silence as he was asked repeatedly if he agreed with OnlyFans model Lana Wolf’s offensive comments.
Wolf, real name Emily Linton, called voters in Edinburgh Central and Glasgow Southside ‘f****** c****’ on Friday for electing Green constituency MSPs.
She also posted on X that ‘Aberdeen is full of sissies’ after the SNP won Aberdeen Central and ‘Edinburgh is full of retards’ after Green Lorna Slater won Edinburgh Central.
The Glasgow Bell website reported she later attended a Reform party at Glasgow’s Marriott Hotel where she posed with Lord Offord and Glasgow MSP Thomas Kerr.
Wolf, who attended a Tommy Robinson anti-immigration march in London last year in a Union Jack bikini, posted a picture of herself and Lord Offord on X, calling him ‘the gaffer’.
She also posed with Mr Kerr, who follows her on X, saying: ‘This guy is just what Glasgow needs!’
At Holyrood on Tuesday, Lord Offord was asked if Wolf’s comments were acceptable.
He refused to say a word. Asked for his comment, Mr Kerr snapped: ‘Get a grip.’

Wolf claimed on social media: ‘I was invited, I didn’t just gatecrash. I love going to these kind of events and being pro-sex work, but it is nerve-racking.'
Scottish Tory deputy leader Rachael Hamilton said: ‘This again calls into question Lord Offord’s judgment.
‘He should explain why he thinks it was appropriate to pose for pictures with someone who has made some deeply offensive comments. The fact that he won’t tells its own story.’
Scottish Liberal Democrat deputy leader Wendy Chamberlain MP said: ‘Malcolm Offord and Thomas Kerr don’t seem to have a problem with someone who uses such abhorrent language about the voting public.
‘Scotland deserves grown-ups, not the grotesque.’
Reform and Scottish Labour both won 17 MSPs last week.
But Labour leader Anas Sarwar insisted his party was the main opposition - letting it lead at First Minister‘s Questions - as it had won more votes.
He said other parties wanting to ‘limit the influence’ of Reform now had to decide which party they were going to back as the main opposition.
