Expulsions 'a sorry state of affairs', Reform KCC leader

The leader of Reform UK-run Kent County Council has described the suspensions and expulsions of councillors from her party as "a sorry state of affairs".

Linden Kemkaran was speaking after five of her colleagues were expelled for bringing the party into disrepute.

It followed a leaked recording of a video meeting in which Kemkaran was seen shouting and swearing at other Reform councillors.

On Tuesday she told BBC South East that "not everybody has the same sense of service and duty and responsibility, that's a sorry state of affairs".
