Simon Evans- Reform In Charge

Simon Evans- Reform In Charge

Author: Ken Ferguson December 11, 2025 Duration: 37:48

In May 2025, Reform UK won a huge number of seats at the local elections and became the controlling regime in a number of Councils around the country.

In the last few weeks our political opponents have run a series of smear campaigns in parliament and in the national and local media to try to denigrate Reform and question the competence of our leadership.

But are the criticisms valid or are they based in mischief and misinformation?

Simon Evans is Deputy Leader of Lancashire County Council which has a budget of £1.7 Billion and in this episode he reviews what has been achieved in the first six months of Reform being in control of the Council.


Hosted by Ken Ferguson, the Reform Party Podcast engages directly with the conversations defining contemporary Britain. This isn't about rehearsed soundbites from the Westminster bubble; it's a platform built for substantive dialogue that often exists outside mainstream channels. Each episode digs into the mechanics of governance and public policy, questioning long-held assumptions about how the country is run. The discussions frequently connect high-level political shifts with the grassroots movements and local concerns that are actively shaping the national mood. You'll hear analysis on topics ranging from constitutional reform and economic strategy to the evolving questions of national identity and community. The aim is to challenge the status quo by airing diverse, thought-provoking perspectives that aren't always amplified elsewhere. By fostering this kind of open exploration, the podcast creates a space where listeners can encounter the ideas and debates central to the reform movement in real time. Tune in for a candid, detailed look at the forces and figures proposing a different path forward for the nation.
