"Most of the people who've proved they can do the job [of local councillor] come up through the community network, so they might be active residents, they've lived in the area, but what we've seen with this surge of 1500 particularly Reform councillors is people coming in with not much clue. And that extends to not knowing which council they've been elected to. A councillor who was elected to Newcastle-under-Lyme council rocked up at Kidsgrove Town because she got confused about the name."
