And another one
A Reform UK county councillor in Staffordshire who sparked a council complaints inquiry has resigned, triggering a by-election.
Barry Martin, who represented the Stretton and Horninglow division, told the BBC he had stood down because of physical health issues.
In November, two complaints against Martin were upheld in a standards panel meeting, with the panel due to meet again next week. He was one of 49 Reform councillors elected in May 2025, as the party swept to power at Staffordshire County Council.
The complaints relate to his conduct and social media activity. Reform UK has not responded to the BBC's request for comment...

...For the Conservative opposition on the council however, Martin's resignation was overdue.Wankers say they vote RacistUK because they want something different to the mainstream. Boy, are they getting it!
Its leader Philip White said: "His constant stream of bizarre social media posts and breaches of council standards for bad behaviour towards residents have left people in Horninglow and Stretton without a representative they can trust to deal with their issues."..
It might only be the Imperial Service Medal, but I've got a gong. What's Paul Dacre got?
