Four Highland Councillors Quit Licensing Committee After Convicted Rapist Keeps Taxi Licence

Four Highland councillors resigned from the licensing committee after a six-to-four, gender-split vote allowed convicted rapist David Brown, 50, to keep his taxi operator's licence. Police Scotland had objected to the licence being retained. One councillor was expelled from his party and another quit the council. All 74 councillors will reconsider the decision in September.

Reform UK defends Makerfield candidate Robert Kenyon after sexist posts linked to him resurface

Reform UK defended Makerfield by-election candidate Robert Kenyon after online forum posts linked to him resurfaced, including statements such as “Women can’t ref, drive or give directions” and “I’m sexist.” Reform said the comments were old and “banter,” and did not dispute the link to Kenyon when asked. Labour said the revelations raised serious questions about Reform’s vetting and Nigel Farage’s judgment.
