Reform UK councillor Laila Cunningham (Image: SKY NEWS)
A Reform UK councillor told how American friends have asked her if she is ok living in Britain. Laila Cunningham, who appeared at a press conference on law and order alongside Nigel Farage earlier today, said she faced concerns during a visit across the pond with her husband.

I was in Chicago and New York on holiday as my husband's American and so many people were like, 'Oh my God, we've heard about what's going on in the UK, are you guys ok?'"
