A Reform council leader has jumped to the defence of a party councillor who was criticised over social media posts he made about the police and Black women.
In now-deleted posts on X (Twitter) written before he was elected onto Staffordshire County Council, councillor Peter Mason called the police “a bunch of politically indoctrinated British hating scum”. In another post, from March 2024, he wrote: "What a surprise a statue of a fat arsed black woman.”
