A group of Derbyshire councillors who quit Reform UK have announced they are now representing a new far-right splinter party, with the first test of their electoral prospects coming later this month.
The six members of Heanor & Loscoe Town Council, including Mayor Alan Abernethy, have joined Advance UK, a party launched in 2025 by Reform’s former national deputy leader Ben Habib amid disputes with leader Nigel Farage.
Councillors Abernethy, Alex Stevenson, Phillip Rose, Malc Hibbard, Laura Brunelleschi and Mark Burrell – four of whom also occupy parish council offices – say they represent an extensive local grassroots network in and around Amber Valley.
Cllr Stevenson, a former Conservative councillor who claimed second place in the constituency for Reform on 28.7 per cent of votes at the 2024 General Election, said: “We resigned from Reform UK because that party has lost touch with the grassroots values that first inspired it and us. Our loyalty has always been to our constituents, not to a party machine.
