A Reformed Messenger? 

 The resignation of St Ives Town Council’s Mr Kenneth Messenger as a Conservative councillor on February 15 is a blow to the council. 

The next step for Mr Messenger is surely clear: to join Reform UK and, indeed, contemplate standing as that party’s parliamentary candidate for the St Ives Constituency at the upcoming general election.

The populist party founded by Nigel Farage is the perfect home for disgruntled Conservatives like Mr Messenger.
