Cllr Carol Ney ( Southway ) who joined Reform UK in April, has returned to being an independent councillor saying she is “unable to support the direction of the party”. The furore erupted over a comment made by Cllr Vanessa Tyler of Reform UK who was elected in May for the Plympton St Mary ward. She later joined Reform UK saying it was the party “best placed to challenge the political failure people are sick of seeing, both locally and nationally”. This is not the first time that Reform UK councillors in Plymouth have come under fire for comments made on social media.
