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.

But his ministerial career came to an end in January 2023 after an ethics investigation that found he had breached the ministerial code by failing to disclose that his tax affairs were being investigated by HM Revenue and Customs.

Is this effectively fraud?

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
Yes…
He wasn’t fired for owing tax, he was fired for lying about the HMRC investigating his taxes…

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
I wish that ex-prominent Tories wouldn't defect to Reform UK. For what my opinion is worth, these prominent defectors are opportunists who want to find a route back to power for themselves. Farage would have done better by refusing Zahawi's membership because he doesn't come to the table with clean hands.
Although I have kept my Conservative Party membership, I would not be frightened to live in a country led by Farage.

Failed politicians, failed heads of industry, failed football managers . . rather surprisingly (or not) they all seem to fail upwards
