## Resource

Reform UK just lost a key voice in Kirklees as newly elected Councillor Susan Maxfield quits after just 57 days, switching to Independent status—following another councillor’s exit last week. The party insists its mission remains unchanged, but the rapid turnover raises questions about stability and impact on local governance. Maxfield’s reasons remain unexplained, leaving the political chessboard in Kirklees even more unpredictable.
