Embattled Reform council leader calls for backing
""But Linden rose to the challenge without hesitation. She has the opposition firmly on the run and under her guidance. "Reform UK members are flourishing in their roles.""
""I don't feel on the run. "It looks like an act of increasing desperation because she is being told by Reform HQ to get members to back her or sack her.""
""best person for the job", who is leading with "courage, integrity and discipline". It says that leading KCC - England's largest local authority - is an "almost impossible task for one person"."
""counter all the negativity""
Linden Kemkaran, leader of Kent County Council, asked fellow councillors to sign a written statement backing her leadership after Reform HQ advised the move. A leaked clip showed her shouting and swearing during a council meeting, prompting criticism and calls for her to step down. The requested statement praises her as the "best person for the job", credits "courage, integrity and discipline", and calls leading KCC "an almost impossible task for one person". Opposition Liberal Democrats called the appeal desperate. Some Reform councillors felt pressured to sign. A group of MPs urged Nigel Farage to ask Kemkaran to resign.
