Conservative councillors suspend their leader on Worcestershire County Council after he agrees to a coalition intended to remove the party currently in control. According to reporting, Adam Kent is suspended following a deal in which Conservative councillors join forces with the Green Party and the Liberal Democrats to end Reform UK’s minority control of the council. One source says the arrangement is aimed at preventing Reform from retaining leadership of the council. The Guardian reports that Reform gained control of the council about a year earlier, with its period of governance marked by political infighting and controversies, including a leadership change in April when Jo Monk was replaced as council leader. The reports add that Kent’s suspension follows internal criticism from within the Conservative party over the coalition decision. The sources broadly agree on the key sequence of events: Reform currently leads the council, Kent is suspended by Conservatives after forming or supporting an alliance with other parties to oust Reform, and the council’s recent politics have included leadership disputes. The accounts focus on the internal party response and the coalition’s purpose, without providing detailed terms of the arrangement.
