Reform news is just flooding in tonight! Some exclusive big news from the County Council is that Martin Murray is due to step down as the leader of the authority tomorrow the 27th October. Reportedly current deputy leader and Tamworth Borough Councillor Hayley Coles is due to have the baton passed on to her. We understand that Murray is only stepping down as leader and not a Councillor. This comes after his recent 2 week break, presumably taken to ease the pain of being the 3rd Reform County Council leader in the space of less than a year.
Pressure will surely be on Hayley Coles to juggle the two Council responsibilities between Borough and County, it's obvious which one is likely to give, in the squeeze. Although from what we've seen so far she does appear to be the only really capable one on their group, even if she does believe in chemtrails.
In other pre Halloween Reform horrors, it's also been exclusively revealed to us that the Tamworth Branch of Reform UK have officially been put in to special measures. We can reveal that the reason they've recently put out a call for a branch chair person and other positions, is because Reform UK Ltd were appalled at how the local association and their meetings were being run. Central office have sent a representative to effectively run the show until they get their act together. It surely cannot be a coincidence that former Reform Councillor Dylan Powis has been cleared out with the cobwebs. Maybe too much aggro caused for them by the many complaints they no doubt got about him and his colleagues.
Tamworth Reform are apparently in meltdown over the reforms (irony?) and a special meeting is (or was) currently happening tonight. We cannot wait to hear more of what our sources have to offer up from that. It seems Farage has been spurred on by the recent damning Channel 4 documentary to clean up the party's act prior to the next local and general elections. Unfortunately for those Reform supporters who are not used to the 'establishment' in action, this is your first introduction to what happens when you have to play by the well established rules of the political world.
What's that coming over the hill, is it a monster? Nope, it's just a timely wake up call, for Reform...
