Reform UK Group Leader Resigns from Cornwall Council
Reform UK councillor and group leader at Cornwall Council, Rob Parsonage, has resigned from his role.
This resignation adds to the perception that Reform is a party in turmoil, with several councillors having quit since the local elections in May.
- 28 Reform councillors won seats during the local elections in May, making them the largest group on the local authority.
- A coalition between the Liberal Democrats and independents prevented Reform from taking control.
Following careful consideration, Cllr Robert Parsonage has decided to step down from his role as group leader, effective immediately.
Keith Johnson has been elected interim group leader, and Kevin Towill has been appointed as deputy leader, ensuring continuity.
