Reform UK has been plaugued by yet another crisis at its flagship local authority after three more councillors quit.
The three councillors quit Durham Council for a number of reasons, bringing Reform’s majority on the local authority down from 65 to 51.
Durham council was supposed to be one of Reform’s flagship local authorities, showing how the party would govern if elected in national office and yet far from being a success, it has been plagued by bitter infighting and defections.
One of the councillors who has quit, Lyndsey Fox, said: “I’ve been thinking of resigning for some time, and the reason is because I reported a very serious safeguarding issue on July 14, and we’re now two months on and I’ve heard nothing.”
Reform’s record in local government has been defined by bitter infighting, broken promises and incompetence.
