Reform councillors fail to fill in the legally required public register of interests

British councillors are required to fill in a public register of interests, in the name of transparency.

The legal declaration they sign states that:

I am a member…of the following body/ies, one of whose principal purposes include the influence of public opinion or policy (including any political party)

However, several Reform councillors have failed to even disclose that they are part of Reform UK.

That’s aside from any side-gigs they might have. The Byline Times notes that Darren Grimes hasn’t mentioned that he’s also a member of the "right-wing Free Speech Union" (or Reform).

The 18 year old leader of Warwickshire council we covered recently, George Finch, has also failed to declare that in between running an entire council and attending university he also offers online tutoring services. If this is a paid gig then he’s likely broken the rules too.
