A Statement By Cllr. Celia Hibbert, delivered After her Election As Leader of Reform UK in Wolverhampton

I am deeply honoured to have been elected unanimously as Leader of Reform UK in Wolverhampton – a responsibility which now sees me serve as Leader of the Official Opposition on #Wolverhampton City Council.

Since joining Reform UK, I have been judged not by the colour of my skin, but by my ability, character and commitment to public service. That has been a refreshing and profoundly different experience from my time in The Labour Party, which, in my opinion, is often more focused on #DEI rather than on talent, merit and commitment.

Under the leadership of Nigel Farage, Reform UK 🇬🇧 is not afraid of talent or success – it encourages and nurtures both.

I will remain focused, disciplined and attentive to the legitimate concerns of local residents.

Every single day, I shall carry the heartbeat of the British electorate with patriotism, duty and pride.

My late father always told me: “To whom much is given, much is expected.” Those words continue to guide me. I will devote myself tirelessly to the service of the people of Wolverhampton, and beyond.

So help me God

Cllr. Celia Hibbert

Leader of the Official Opposition

Wolverhampton City Council
