Another triumph for Reform UK's vetting of its candidates. NN Journal reports:
The Reform UK chairman of North Northamptonshire Council has today stood down in response to an NN Journal investigation into his social media activity.
Cllr Maurice Eglin, who was appointed as chairman last month, has resigned this morning ahead of our investigation being published, saying he had in the past been guilty of being a "keyboard warrior". He has also apologised for his posts and said the language he used was "wrong".
We had uncovered a series of offensive tweets which include Islamphobia, support for far right groups and anti-trans views. The tweets predate his election as a councillor last May and are from an account that he shut down shortly before being elected.
