Reform Suspends Four Kent Councillors

Reform has suspended four councillors on Kent County Council after a leaked video showed bitter infighting during a meeting.

A video published by the Guardian over the weekend revealed leader Linden Kemkaren telling councillors to

"fucking suck it up"

if they did not agree with proposed cuts designed to avoid putting up council tax.

In the video, other councillors complained about

"backbiting"

and being ignored by Kemkaren.

The incident has led to the suspension of four councillors, highlighting the internal conflicts within the party.
