Reform UK deputy says party's focus is 'common sense politics'

Reform UK councillors will not enter into "coalitions" with other parties, Richard Tice says.

Speaking to Sky News, the party's deputy leader says that voters didn't "ask us to enter into coalitions" and that it will focus on "common sense politics", instead.

It follows the party emerging as the clear winners of Thursday's elections, winning control of 14 councils, gaining more than 1,450 council seats in England and coming second in both the Senedd and the Scottish Parliament.
