Sacked, Expelled, or in the Dock: All the Reform UK Councillors Nigel Farage Has Lost in Just Four Months - eviltoast
Party faces questions over candidate screening after string of resignations, expulsions and criminal investigations

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage and his so-called ‘DOGE’ (Department of Government Efficiency) leader Zia Yusuf hailed the work of Reform’s dozen councils in a press conference on Monday.

However, their praise excluded the many Reform councillors who have already had to stand down, or who face investigations for alleged misconduct, since May’s local elections.

At least 15 Reform councillors have been suspended, expelled, or have quit since being elected earlier this year, with at least four facing criminal investigations, Byline Times can report.

Some quit within days of being elected, whilst others were caught sharing Hitler memes, spouting racist conspiracy theories, or are now the subject of police probes or prosecutions.

    And the Reform councillors who didn’t get removed haven’t accomplished anything.

    Just the empty destructive posturing of MAGA transplanted to the UK, while Are Nige carries water for Putin.
