Episode Details

Reform UK’s Richard Tice is standing firm on tough local council decisions — including tax hikes and spending cuts — arguing they’re necessary for financial discipline, even if unpopular. With 24 councils now under Reform UK control, the party is using its recent conference to rebuild momentum after distractions, showcasing real-world governance challenges like Worcestershire’s nine percent council tax rise to fix a “bust” budget. Tice backs councillors’ autonomy in tough calls, while pushing policies like right-to-buy housing and climate adaptation over prevention — all while addressing professional standards and prioritizing social housing for British-born residents.
