Reform councillor’s boast about removing ‘trans-ideological’ books from children’s library sections falls flat

Paul Webb said he ensured books and material were pulled from children's section of Kent libraries, but it emerges they were never there

A boast by a Reform UK councillor that he ensured the removal of trans-ideological material and books" from the children's section of his county's libraries has fallen flat after it emerged that no such material ever existed there.

Paul Webb, the cabinet member for communities at Kent council, whose portfolio covers libraries, posted a video to X in which he said he had been recently contacted by a concerned member of the public who found trans-ideological material and books in the children's section of one of our libraries".
