'Hypocrisy' | Reform UK hiring remote staff despite vowing to end WFH in councils

After some stunning results at last week’s local elections - which even Nigel Farage admitted were beyond his wildest dreams - Reform UK was quick to insist it would eradicate remote working and DEI officers within the 10 councils it now controlled.

“[Remote workers] all better really be seeking alternative careers very, very quickly” said Farage after a successful night for the party.

When speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, Farage outlined what Reform UK’s new councillors would be seeking to change at their local authorities.

“No more work from home, increased productivity. That won’t be a magic wand, it won’t solve every problem, but it will be a good start and we’ll be judged on that,” he explained.
