More than two million households living under Reform-run councils face tax rises of £127 million next year. Before the election they promised to bring down council tax by cutting wasteful spending.

🔴 Labour MP Graham Stringer signed an open letter drafted by a far-right group attacking the government.

He's also been hanging out with Farage's anti-abortion advisors and is still a director of the UK's leading climate science denial group - run by a Tory peer.
