A Labour MP has called on Reform UK to expel a newly elected councillor over social media posts he considers unacceptable. Ben Goldsborough made the demand following Karl Catchpole's election to a local council seat. The incident highlights ongoing scrutiny of Reform UK candidates' online histories and rhetoric as the party expands its presence in local government.
