Reform DOGE unit in Kent a “spectacular failure” for which Yusuf must “personally apologise”

6 Oct 2025

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to reports that Reform’s DOGE unit in Kent has found no savings and is set to hike council tax, Daisy Cooper MP, Deputy Leader of the Liberal Democrats, said:

"Reform's pledge to slash millions from Kent Council's budget has turned out to be nothing but smoke and mirrors.

"Just like his idol Elon Musk, Zia Yusuf has spectacularly failed to deliver what DOGE promised. It turns out cribbing the notes of dodgy American tech billionaires is no way to run a council.

“Zia Yusuf should personally apologise to the people of Kent for misleading them.”
