Reform in turmoil: Party forced to suspend 4 more Kent councillors after bitter infighting

Reform UK Party Suspends Councillors Amid Infighting

Reform UK has suspended four more Kent County Council councillors due to bitter infighting and divisions among its members.

A leaked recording of a meeting revealed councillors complaining about "backbiting" and being ignored by their leader, Linden Kemkaran.

Linden Kemkaran told them to "fucking suck it up" if they did not agree with decisions made by her.

The suspended councillors are Paul Thomas, Oliver Bradshaw, Bill Barret, and Maxine Fothergrill, pending an investigation, according to a Reform UK spokesperson.

This turmoil is particularly embarrassing for Farage, as Kent County Council is seen as a test case for the party's ability to govern.
