Two Durham councillors resign from Reform UK amid internal disputes
Two councillors from Durham County Council, Kenny Hope and Andrew Harrison, who had been suspended by Reform UK pending internal investigations, have officially resigned from the party. Both stated that they will continue serving as independent councillors. Hope, representing Delves Lane in Consett, and Harrison, representing Seaham, cited irreconcilable differences with the local Reform leadership as the main reason for their departure. Hope described being bullied and harassed after resigning as the party's group whip, claiming there was an internal campaign to silence him. He emphasised that leadership should be based on respect, unity, and recognising contributions, rather than hierarchy or control. Harrison mentioned a lack of support and ongoing disagreements with the leadership as his motivation to resign. The Durham Reform UK leadership, including deputy leader Darren Grimes and group leader Andrew Husband, refrained from detailed comment, stating it would be inappropriate while investigations are ongoing. Husband added that in a group of 65 individuals, some conflicts are inevitable and confirmed that the investigations would conclude before further public statements. Both councillors pledged to continue serving their communities professionally and with integrity.
