Reform at the reins: The new regime's first 7 weeks
REFORM UK has been facing heavy criticism since taking over control of Kent County Council in last month's elections. With the cancellation or postponement of several important committee meetings, and the sudden suspension of Cllr Daniel Taylor, the party has faced increasing scrutiny. Nigel Farage's party took 57 of the council's 81 seats in the election on May 1, ending 28 years of Conservative dominance in County Hall, and named Linden Kemkaran as the authority's new leader. Cllr Kemkaran then requested a four-month extension to an \"almost impossible\" deadline for local government reform. There is a lot of confusion about what the party can do on a local level. Hedi Mehrez looks at everything that's happened so far, what power Reform UK actually has at the county level, and what it all means for local residents.
