History repeating itself?

UKIP under Nigel Farage controlled Thanet Council and nearly bankrupt it.

Reform UK under Nigel Farage controls Worcestershire Council and it’s on the verge of bankruptcy.

Never trust Reform UK. Imagine a country run by them. We'd be bankrupt with Trussite policies.

Both stories about Reform UK Party Ltd’s Gorton & Denton campaign are true — they, laughably, reported Labour to the police over a ‘misleading’ video, and now they face a police investigation over breaking by-election law with deliberately misleading campaign material.
