The incompetent chaos abounding in Reform’s “flagship” council – Kent – continues with the departure of Isabella Kemp. She was a councillor in Kent, as well as the data protection officer for Reform UK’s headquarters.
This brings the total councillors that have had to go since the relatively recent election up to a whopping 9 of the 57 in total that were elected there.
Kemp is not happy about her dismissal and seems to be on the route to taking legal action:
Kemp said she had started the process of taking Reform UK to a tribunal for unfair dismissal. She said she had contacted the conciliation service Acas and the whistleblowing charity Protect.
Harry Rayner, the leader of the Conservative councillors there, provides a very fair criticism of the catastrophic mess that Reform is creating in Kent:
Harry Rayner, the leader of the Tory group of councillors, said the council was now “mired in the consequences of self-inflicted damages” and he had seen nothing to rival it in 40 years of local government experience.
“This council has been made a laughing stock with more clowns on display since I saw Bill Smart’s last circus,” he said.
