Despite having taken 28 per cent and come second at Amber Valley, Alex Stevenson was suspended from Reform UK after he put up council candidates including supporters of Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. Yesterday, Stevenson and 11 other councillors at various levels in that Reform target seat seceded from the party, which is being torn apart by the question of what to do about "Tommy Robinson". From solitary confinement, he is one of the two most influential men on the British Right. The other is neither a British citizen nor resident in this country.
Elsewhere in the East Midlands, Councillor Dawn Justice, who in November loudly defected from the Conservative Party to Reform, has teamed up with the remaining Conservative, Councillor Philip Rostance, to form the Opposition Group, led by Councillor Rostance, who will be entitled to an extra £5,825 per year. That council is Ashfield, the constituency of Lee Anderson, Reform's Chief Whip.
