Wayne Titley becomes the fifth Reform councillor to quit his job after serving 2 weeks

Wayne Titley, recently elected to be a Staffordshire County Councillor, lasted just two weeks before stepping down for “personal reasons”, unable to represent voters “in the way they deserve”.

No-one really seems to have said precisely why, but it was noted that:

…he attracted criticism for a post on his Facebook account in March that called on the navy to intercept small boats attempting to reach Britain and use a “volley of gun fire aimed at sinking them”.

So it’s probably his terrible posting habits. Reform made comments to suggest that he had received enough “abuse” to mean that he couldn’t continue as councillor.

He also quit his position on Gnosall Parish Council.

Another expensive “needless by-election” has to be arranged.
