Re: Reform UK's chronicles
Quote:
A Reform UK councillor has defected to the Conservatives, saying he became uncomfortable in Nigel Farage’s party.
James Buchan, who sits in the borough of Dartford in Kent, said he had struggled with the idea of facing his relatives while a member of a party whose anti-immigration policies spread fear.
I stood for election with the sole aim of working for my community and getting things done for local families. Having had the opportunity to see Reform from the inside, I’ve concluded that the party doesn’t really have the experience or ambition to do that,” he said.
Buchan said he wanted to be able to “look my family in the eye and say, ‘that’s not who I am’” after Nigel Farage’s party announced plans to end indefinite leave to remain status.
He said “relying on rhetoric and slogans isn’t going to help real families in communities” such as his and “the more I saw of Reform UK, the more uncomfortable I felt to be part of it”.

When people see Reform 'in action' , and what they stand for, they'll be coming to the same conclusion as this councillor.
