Another day, another Essex Reform lie…

The president of a Ukrainian society has denied ever being consulted about the removal of his country's flag from Essex County Council's headquarters, despite Reform UK saying he was.

Vladyslav Shuliar says Reform never spoke to him ahead of the move, despite the party saying it did.

Peter Harris:

‘Peter Harris, the party's Greater Essex mayoral candidate, was also Farage's election agent in Clacton.

In January, he said: "We need to get behind [local government reform] and make sure that it happens."’

Also Peter Harris, after initiating action to spend public money to fight LGR:

"We will resist the premise of Local ‘Government Reorganisation robustly on behalf of the 1.6 million residents of Essex that have sent us to County Hall to do exactly that."’
