Durham: Andrew Kilburn
Resigned after failing to declare his job working for the same council he got elected to.
Conflict of interest 101.
Vetted? Apparently not.

Also forced to step down because of employment conflicts. Still clinging to the Reform badge, but no longer a councillor.
These aren’t slip-ups. They’re a pattern.

At least a dozen councillors caught sharing far-right and Islamophobic content.
The party line? “We’ll investigate.”
Which sounds a lot like “We didn’t check first.”

Called it “cult-like.”
This isn’t coming from the left—it’s one of their own who got out fast.
If they can’t even manage a few dozen local councillors without scandal, incompetence or collapse...
How exactly do they plan to run a country?
He swore the party was tightening vetting.
What we got was more like:
• Google optional
• Facebook unfiltered
•Racist
“Yeah, you’ll do”
But they can’t even clean up their candidate list.
You’re not sending in the outsiders. You’re sending in the out-of-depth.
