Reform’s general secretary has quit, in what is yet another blow to Nigel Farage and his party as it lurches from one scandal to the next.
Tom Waterhouse spent 16 months as the party’s general secretary and was responsible for candidate vetting, internal discipline and party compliance.
The Daily Mail reports that Reform chiefs had become increasingly irritated with Waterhouse over the party’s poor vetting processes, especially in light of the recent undercover ITV documentary which showed party members and councillors expressing racist and misogynistic views.
The Mail goes on to add that Reform bosses were also annoyed at the way in which Waterhouse handled the charges against the leader of Reform in Hampshire, George Madgwick, charged with 35 offences against four victims, including 12 counts of rape.
Reform however say that Waterhouse has resigned to ‘spend more time with his family’.
