Nigel Farage’s big “political earthquake” in the May local elections has turned out to be a demolition job on Reform UK itself. In just six months, they’ve already lost dozens of councillors: resignations, suspensions, expulsions, defections, scandals, racism investigations, Hitler memes, councillors calling for migrant boats to be shot at, and even an 18-year-old suddenly left in charge of a £500 million county council.
In this week’s Truth To Power, I break down Reform UK’s six-month collapse, look at how many councillors have already disappeared, and show why Farage’s so-called “world-class vetting” has produced one of the biggest local-government farces in modern British politics.
We also look at Reform councils breaking their promises on council tax, preparing the full 5% rise, and introducing 100% tax premiums on second homes: policies Farage himself called “madness”.
