Reform UK forms ‘Doge’ efficiency unit to cut council waste.
Reform UK announced creation of a shadow “Department of Government Efficiency” (nicknamed “Doge”) to audit wasteful council spending—starting with Kent County Council.
Chairman Zia Yusuf and founding figures resigned this week, citing disagreements over strategy and internal direction.
The move positions Reform UK as a government-in-waiting with a focus on fiscal restraint, targeting clerical bloat and ‘greenwashing’ expenditures.
Critics argue the policy is superficial and risks underfunding essential services. The message’s reception may shape the party's broader electoral appeal.
