How many is that now? Who replaces a councillor when they resign?
He’s resigned from Reform as a party… but he’s still a councillor as an independent. So Reform or not, a Holocaust denying idiot is still a councillor.
I think something needs to change where if the elected candidate quits for whatever reason, their party should have to pay for the re-election.
That guy, Mendey, in Sheffield will probably go tomorrow or Friday. He’s been exposed as posing with swastikas and other nazi symbols…
Probably finds Reform too woke with views like that.
This is exactly why I am OK with Reform getting so many councillors: there are so many opportunities for the public to see how terrible the party is at anything and everything. They could not fill a pothole, let alone solve the immigration crisis.
For those who like someone else to do the legwork here’s the list of councillors who have moved since May 7th elections

Call me a conspiracy theorist this was all part of Reforms plan.
These elections showed the big three, the power Reform currently has, they can get any racist Tommy to be elected, and get Starmer out of the office.
Nigel and his friends will start to recruit ex-mp’s or other civilised people in time for the main general election.
Fine the party for every elected member that quits.
I hear Nigel has some funds that are just resting in his account.
Someone needs to run a few accounts logging how long they stay for and the reason for their departure
At this point, is anyone else wondering what it will take before the Home Secretary just proscribes Reform?
