Reform councillor accused of stealing a constituent’s video

Since Reform UK did well in the 2025 local elections, there’s been a steady stream of stories about how weird their new councillors are. Because Reform won even more seats in the 2026 locals, that stream is fast becoming a river, with stories like this regularly bubbling to the surface:

Reform: you wouldn’t steal a car

If your councillor posts a video of them walking around the local area, you’d no doubt assume it’s their own. The fact that this may not be could say worrying things about this man’s integrity.

Of course, Lambert isn’t the only Reform politician who’s failing to perform their job as you’d expect:

Nigel Farage hasn't voted in Parliament for the last 11 weeks and has now missed 77 votes in a row, according to official records. The last time he turned up was to vote against adraft regulations for the Employment Rights Act, and that says it all.

A fish rots from the head, as they say.

Ironically, Lambert has previously posted AI slop in which he promised to represent Christian values:

Matthew Lambert is Reform UK’s candidate in Douglas, Wigan.

He’s been creating AI slop that he claims represents the Christian Fellowship for Reform with himself a preacher / politician.

We say ‘ironic’, because surely “thou shall not steal”, right? And yet now he stands accused of stealing some random constituent’s walking video.

Lambert is a councillor in Wigan, which is the same area as the ongoing Makerfield by-election. Another candidate, Rob Kenyon, also has a pretty dubious record when it comes to understanding the Christian faith:

Three problems, Rob: it's not a mosque (it's a food bank with a small prayer room), it wasn't a consecrated church (it was an old school building), and it doesn't serve any faith exclusively. The one thing genuinely destroyed at the site was a digger torched by arsonists who'd… https://t.co/g59aDB4EnE

As YouTuber Jimmy the Giant commented:

They’ll do anything to restore our christian heritage but go to church

Tip of the iceberg

When it comes to Farage’s awful councillors though, there’s far worse to point at than what Lambert has done, as we’ve reported:

• Reform councillor reposts that Labour MP ‘should be shot’.
• Reform councillor dramatically quits over council tax betrayal.
• What a surprise – Reform councillor attends just one meeting and sends two emails in six months.
• Reform councillor fined £40,000 for hiring ‘illegal’ workers.
• Reform councillor would like to see wage cuts to fund his pay rise.

There’s also the endless racism, as we reported in the runup to the recent locals:

• Reform activist worries growth of Jewish population could ruin UK culture.
• Reform candidate suggests ‘melting Nigerians’ to fill potholes.
• Calls for Reform candidate who praised rape of Sikh women to face suspension.
• Reform activist said ‘Hitler was right’.
• Video emerges of Reform’s ‘Nazi salute’ candidate drink driving.

This Lambert story does show something, however, and it’s that these far-right politicians are constantly attracting the wrong sort of attention – whether it’s allegedly stealing some random video or failing to declare a £5m ‘gift’:

The optics say it all: Farage, a public school boy in cords and tweed, fresh from receiving £5m from another public school boy, nodding along as Kenyon argues that Britain’s real problem is teenagers who cannot be hired on the minimum wage. https://t.co/gA42bUhOKE
