Tim Montgomerie has said he will fight to remain a member of Reform UK after being suspended from the party.
Montgomerie has indicated that he intends to appeal against the suspension. He has framed the appeal as a wider question about whether Reform UK is prepared to allow open expression within its ranks.
The supplied material does not state the reason for the suspension, when it was imposed, or when an appeal may take place.
The case places attention on Reform UK’s internal handling of dissent and party discipline, with Montgomerie presenting his challenge as a test of the party’s tolerance of free speech.
The latest position is that Montgomerie remains suspended and is seeking to continue as a party member through the appeal process.
