A TRIAL date has been set for a suspended Reform councillor accused of threatening to kill his wife.

Kent county councillor Daniel Taylor, 35, for Cliftonville, near Margate, had the Reform party whip removed after his arrest in June.

He was one of 57 Reform candidates to win a Kent County Council (KCC) seat when they took control of the authority on May 1.

Since the whip was removed, he has continued as an independent councillor.

On Friday, Taylor, of Margate, appeared at Margate Magistrates' Court wearing a blue shirt and grey gilet and spoke to confirm his name, date of birth and address.
