NEWS STORY : Ten Reform Councillors Resign in Protest at Nigel Farage’s Leadership

STORY

Ten Derbyshire councillors from the Reform Party have resigned in protest at Nigel Farage’s leadership of the party and said that it had “lost its sense of direction” recently. The resignations come just days after Elon Musk, a support of the new US President Donald Trump, said that Farage was “not up to the job”.

Farage spoke on Newsnight and said:

“We had a rogue branch putting people up and I think you’ll find, in many cases, there will have to be by-elections because they were not legitimately put forward.”

The Reform Party currently has around fifty councillors.
