Reform will intriduce a ‘SAS-style approach’ to ‘audit the finances open the books’ across councils

Reform’s Deputy Leader has said they will introduce a “SAS-style approach” to the councils they have won, to find out the real reasons as to why they are “teetering on the brink of bankruptcy.”

Richard Tice said Reform UK wants to find out “what’s going on” and where the money has been spent, then on top of this they have “got to save money.”

Nigel Farage the leader of Reform UK has said he will send in Reform “auditors” into the councils to look at ways to find savings, he added that “today marks the end of two-party politics” in the UK, “it is finished, it is over, it is gone.”

Speaking to GB News, Tice said, “We’ve got dozens of councils up and down the country teetering on the brink of bankruptcy.

“So what I’m saying is, we need to adopt a SAS-style approach to this. We’ve got to save money.

“We’ve got to audit the finances open the books, see what’s going on, open up all the contracts, and find out what’s been badly procured.”

He added: “We’ve got great skills. We come from a variety of backgrounds.

“We’re not wannabe party corporate apparatchiks or greasy pole climbers. Our candidates have been around the block. And so, yeah, I’m confident we can do it.”

“Are we going to be perfect? No, of course not. Of course we’ll make mistakes. But what you will get is a degree of honesty.

“When we dig into the books, we’ll find out where all the money’s gone.”

“But let’s be absolutely clear county councils deal with important local issues, but we’re also hearing massive concern about the national issues you just touched on.

“The boats 34,000-plus have crossed the Channel since the election. Mass low-skilled immigration suppressing wages.

“These things weigh on people, as well as the cost of bills and the cost of living caused by net stupid zero.”

“So, we are making serious progress. There are lots of issues to take on lots to take on.”
