  • A Conservative councillor has announced his defection to Reform UK. Robert Potts was elected to Durham County Council in 2021 and this year stood as the Tory candidate for the area's police and crime commissioner (PCC).

The article discusses the defection of Councillor Peter Burch, a Conservative councillor from the Forest of Dean District Council, to the Reform UK party. Burch, who was also a candidate for the position of Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for Gloucestershire, made this switch citing his disillusionment with the Conservative Party's direction under Rishi Sunak's leadership. He expressed concerns over the party's failure to deliver on key promises like Brexit, immigration control, and economic policies, feeling that Reform UK better aligns with his and his constituents' values. This move is seen as a blow to the Conservative Party, especially as it comes ahead of the upcoming PCC elections, highlighting internal dissent and dissatisfaction within the party ranks.
