Summary
Councillor Maurice Eglin has resigned as Reform chair of North Northamptonshire Council following the discovery of anti-Muslim and anti-Trans tweets, as well as his expressed support for far-right groups. Elected in May 2025, he now faces calls from both Reform Party UK Exposed and Green Party councillors to also step down from his position as a councillor entirely, with critics arguing constituents should decide his fitness to represent them.
