It's not the first time Reform UK councillors have been caught failing to properly declare their financial interests, as I covered in my On the Ground column for @bylinetimes.bsky.social this month in print...

A Convenient Loophole Durham County Council’s Reform UK Deputy Leader Darren Grimes’ register of interests is remarkably sparse. So when he complained recently of having been “demonetised” by Facebook owner Meta for his rage-bait video content on the platform (Meta apparently stopped the payments after realising he is an elected official and ineligible), it got me thinking: why has he never declared that income? Under ‘employment’ on his council records, Grimes lists only his D-Dog Media Ltd firm, of which he is the director. I asked him and the council why he has not previously declared income from Facebook/Meta. Or, for that matter, his (presumably significant) income from Elon Musk’s X ‘creator revenue sharing’ programme, which bungs thousands of pounds a month to the likes of Reform Leader Nigel Farage, far-right convicted criminal Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (‘Tommy Robinson’), and likely Grimes, too. Helen Bradley, the council’s director of legal and democratic services, said: “We understand income from Cllr Grimes’ social media has been paid to a company, of which he is a director. This company is declared on his register of interests.” So if he has a company, he doesn’t have to declare any of his clients or who is paying him? A council spokesperson responded: “There is no requirement for them to declare clients or payees of any business listed on this register.” It is, to my eyes, an outrageous loophole that means any local politician trying to hide their income streams can simply run it through a company. And voters are none the wiser. ■

You deserve to be side-lined for any job … after what you have done to this once great country.
