"Councillors on Kent county council were seen in the footage, first published by the Guardian, complaining about backbiting and being ignored by their leader, Linden Kemkaran, who told them to fucking suck it up if they did not agree with decisions made by her. A spokesperson for Nigel Farage's party said on Monday morning that four councillors on the council, one of 10 where Reform won outright control in local elections earlier this year, had been suspended."
"Councillors Paul Thomas, Oliver Bradshaw, Bill Barrett and Maxine Fothergill have had the whip suspended pending investigation, following evidence that they brought the party into disrepute, said the spokesperson. The suspensions now mean that, from winning 57 seats in elections in May, Reform has 50 councillors with the whip. Two other councillors had been suspended while a third joined Ukip."
A leaked video captured Reform councillors on Kent county council complaining about backbiting and being ignored by their leader, Linden Kemkaran. The leader told councillors to 'fucking suck it up' and warned they would be screwed and that Reform could forget about winning the general election if Kent's budget was not balanced. Reform UK suspended Paul Thomas, Oliver Bradshaw, Bill Barrett and Maxine Fothergill, removing the whip pending investigation for bringing the party into disrepute. The suspensions reduced the party's councillors with the whip from 57 to 50. A cancelled committee on school transport may delay transport decisions for children.
