Reform UK Sunderland have serious issues with their reporting of interests. The @SunderlandUK Council, led by @CllrChrisEynon of @ReformUkWear needs to urgently investigate what is going on. There’s a large scale Reform UK non-declaration of business interests. Ciara Hudspith / Chris Eynon - partners and have discrepancy between their ROIs. Heather Finlay - hasn’t reported a second interest on her ROI (after we identified a first missing one). David Wales - hasn’t reported an interest on his ROI. Tommy Steele - failed to declare building company employment, a company that has worked on a major Sunderland project. Carol Giles - no disclosure of Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust (CNTW NHS Trust) employment. Janis Berzemnieks - non disclosure of his GXO Logistics employment. Paul Donaghy - claims he is a consultant but doesn’t list any interests on his ROI. His consulting company was dissolved in April, and was not declared. He has had 10 companies struck off due to not submitting documentation. Failure without reasonable excuse to register a disclosable pecuniary interest is both a Code of Conduct breach and a criminal offence under Section 34 of the Localism Act 2011. There’s then the case of Glen Gibbins, who said Nigerians should be melted down to fill potholes. He is still a councillor. There’s also David Laing, still a Reform UK Sunderland councillor despite him refusing to confirm whether he stood for the BNP twice (in 2006 & 7). Sunderland Reform UK is a shambles.
