Nigel Farage has accused a 'rogue branch' of the Reform party of putting forward 10 councillors who resigned in protest over his leadership style. The Derbyshire group cited Farage's 'autocratic' management and a loss of direction within the party. This follows criticism from Elon Musk, who said Farage 'doesn't have what it takes' to lead Reform. Farage insists he remains friends with Musk and claims he cannot be 'pushed or bullied'.
Nigel Farage has said 10 Reform councillors who quit in protest regarding his "autocratic" leadership were put forward by a "rogue branch" of the party. The Derbyshire group made the statement after billionaire X owner Elon Musk said that Farage "doesn't have what it takes" to lead the party. The Clacton MP said he is still friends with Musk and affirmed that he "can't be pushed or bullied' by anybody.
