Left Reform UK to sit as Stand Alone Independent on Cornwall Council
Category: scandal
Cllr Jamie Hanlon, elected in May 2025 for the Penwithick and Boscoppa division in the St Austell area, resigned from Reform UK in May 2026 to sit on Cornwall Council as a Stand Alone Independent. His departure took the Reform UK group at County Hall from the 28 councillors elected just over a year earlier down to 21, a loss of a quarter of its elected members. The resignation forms part of a rolling series of Reform departures on Cornwall Council. It followed the April 2026 resignations of Cllr Susanne Desmonde and deputy group leader Cllr Roger Tarrant, and the October 2025 walk-out of five Reform councillors, Rob Parsonage, Rowland O'Connor, Christine Parsonage, Karen Knight and Anna Thomason-Kenyon, who cited interference from the national party. Cornwall Council now has 11 separate political groups.
