  • A Reform UK councillor in Kent has slammed his local authority's plan to axe local elections in May, accusing the Tory-led council and Labour Government of "running scared" amid the success of the populist party.

The article discusses the political turmoil surrounding the upcoming local elections in the UK, where the Reform Party, formerly known as the Brexit Party, has accused both the Conservative and Labour parties of attempting to delay the elections due to fear of losing votes. Reform Party councillor Alan Cook criticized the major parties for what he perceives as their reluctance to face the electorate, suggesting that they are "running scared." This comes in the context of a push by some councils to postpone the elections due to logistical issues related to voter ID requirements and the ongoing effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Cook's comments reflect a broader sentiment within the Reform Party that the established parties are trying to manipulate the electoral process to their advantage, highlighting a significant point of contention in British politics as the election date approaches.
