Yet another Reform councillor has been placed under arrest.
Earlier this week, police officers entered Basildon Council’s offices in order to arrest Councillor Sam Journet.
Why? For stalking, harassment and public order offences according to the police. The council adds public disorder and trespass to the allegations.
This follows the previous arrests of Reform councillor Amanda Clare for assault and criminal damage, and Daniel Taylor for various crimes including threatening to kill his wife.
So much for Reform being the “tough on crime” party.
