Reform UK suspends another Kent councillor after video leak

Advertisements

Reform UK has suspended another councillor following the leak of a video of a heated virtual council meeting.

The party suspended Kent County Council (KCC) member Isabella Kemp after five councillors were booted out of the local party following the leak.

Councillor Kemp told the BBC she was also sacked from her job at Reform UK headquarters and is exploring legal action against the party.

Reform UK has been contacted for comment.

Reform UK won 57 of the council’s 81 seats to take control of the authority in local elections in May, overturning 30 years of Conservative Party dominance.

They are now left with 48 representatives on the council, which is seen by the party as a test case of its ability to govern.

The video, which was leaked to The Guardian, showed KCC’s Reform UK leader Linden Kemkaran swearing and shouting during a council meeting.

She was shown telling party members to “suck it up” regarding her decisions.
