In a letter to KCC leader Linden Kemkaran published over the weekend, external, Tapp said Reform’s decisions were being driven by “populist rhetoric” rather than the interests of residents.
The MP wrote: “What residents need now is clarity, accountability and stability – not chaos, infighting and imported gimmicks.”
Kemkaran responded in a letter to Tapp on Monday, external, telling him “people in glass houses probably shouldn’t throw stones”.
She wrote: “The manner in which your colleagues in Westminster have conducted themselves during the very short time they’ve been in power lends you no authority whatsoever to pass judgment on Reform UK.”
The party has also faced accusations that there have not been any KCC committee meetings since it took control of the authority.
Denying there has been any kind of “hold up”, Collins said: “We’re not going to be rushed or pressured, we’re going to do things properly.
“A lot of the first few weeks have obviously been setting up our committees, our cabinet positions, getting who we feel are the right people in these positions.
“It’s a long process.”
