Reform in Turmoil
Reform UK has been forced to suspend four more Kent councillors due to bitter infighting within the party.
A leaked recording of a meeting showed divisions among councillors, with some 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.
A Reform UK spokesperson confirmed that Paul Thomas, Oliver Bradshaw, Bill Barret, and Maxine Fothergrill have had the whip suspended pending an investigation.
This development is particularly embarrassing for Farage, as Kent County Council is seen as a test case for the party's ability to govern.
