All is not well in Kent for Nigel Farage’s party as the recent video of an incendiary meeting suggests
When Reform UK swept to power in Kent at the local elections this year, Nigel Farage arrived in the county by helicopter for a victory party marked by champagne and fireworks.
Just over 25 weeks on from what the Reform leader described as one of the most significant days of his career, the sparks flying are of a very different kind.
Farage has returned to national campaigning and left the running of Kent county council and its £2.5bn annual budget to its newly installed leader, the combative former journalist and ex-Tory Linden Kemkaran.
Last week the Guardian published a recording of an incendiary meeting in which she told dissenting colleagues they had to “fucking suck it up” if they didn’t like her decisions.
