Up to 12 elected Reform UK councillors are facing allegations of sharing far-right and Islamophobic social media content, including support for Britain First.
Reform UK's vetting process utilizes social media software from Ferretly but has faced criticism for being inadequate, despite claims of comprehensive procedures.
Several councillors, including those suspended or resigning, have been linked to controversial online activity, with evidence primarily sourced from the counter-extremism group Hope Not Hate.
