Here’s the full #BBCPoliticsMidlands interview with Reform UK’s latest gift to Staffordshire, their new leader Cllr Martin Murray. Spoiler: it’s a car crash. • Asked about racist posts from his former leader Ian Cooper? He hasn’t seen them. How convenient, selective blindness is apparently a leadership skill now. • Asked if Cooper should resign? Nope. Apparently, accountability is optional in Reform UK. • Racist and hate-filled social media from cabinet members Peter Mason and Chris Large? Still in post, still untouched. Murray’s response: a shrug so big it could be seen from space. • And the pièce de résistance: he proudly admits he just does whatever Reform UK “head office” tells him. Because why bother thinking when you can outsource your spine? Well worth watching if you want a masterclass in how Reform runs Staffordshire: a party allergic to responsibility, now fronted by a man who makes his predecessor look almost intelligent. #ReformUK
