MR Fife Cook, leader of Reform on Devon County Council likes to pretend that he is part of a ‘cuddly' party that is so reasonable and only concerned about local issues. However that is NOT his party.

This is the group with convicted Russian spies (Nathan Gill, leader of Reform in Wales convicted of accepting Russian money), covert and overt racists and a leader who supported Donald Trump in attacking Iran.

The same leader who opposed investment in the NHS and has repeatedly called for the NHS system to be replaced by an insurance based system and voted in Parliament against extending free breakfast clubs in schools and wished to scrap online safety protections for children and adults.

If Mr Fife Cook really believes in some of the things he purports to support, he should resign his position immediately.
