Default Lib Dem Councillor defects to Reform UK

[A Liberal Democrat councillor has quit
the party to become the first Reform UK member
on Cheshire East Council.
Reg Kain, the former leader of the
Lib Dem group on the local authority,
said the decision was a matter of "principle".

He said he would continue to represent
all his constituents in Alsager and
"ensure their voices are heard".
It means long-serving councillor Rod Fletcher,
who also represents the town,
is the only Lib Dem member on
the authority, which is run by a coalition.

Kain said he joined Reform UK because
he believed it was "the only mainstream
party at this time that is genuinely listening
to the concerns and needs of the British people"

LibDems going mad too.
What on earth has Reform got to offer LibDems

Even just on Farage's and Reform's attitude to the EU.

Before starting on a host of other policies the LibDems are against.
