Reform suspend two councillors

Two Northumberland county councillors have been suspended from Reform UK pending a party investigation.

Berwick North councillor Nicole Brooke and Norham and Island-shire’s Patrick Lambert will both sit as nonaligned councillors after having the whip removed by the party.

Both councillors were first elected at the local elections held in May this year. It means the total number of Reform councillors on the county council has now fallen from 23 at the election to 20.
