Two more gone

Two Reform councillors defect to Restore Britain

Two Warwickshire county councillors have defected from Reform UK to Restore Britain.

Dan Glover and Rob Aitkenhead were both elected to the authority in the 2025 local elections.

Some have defected back to the Tories, some are sitting as independents. These two charmers have gone even further right.

At the current shrinkage rate, how long will it take for Fargle to run out of councillors?

That's why it would be stupid for a new Labour leader to call an early election. In three years time there'll be a very good chance that Reform/Restore will have eaten themselves.
