It didn't take long for Mr Menday to become the story again. As first reported by @thestar.co.uk, #ReformUK councillor Menday, who won in Woodhouse in #Sheffield by more than 1,000 votes and more than doubled every other candidate, has been suspended by the party just days after his victory.

The other major story today from #Sheffield is this man: Nathaniel Menday. The controversial Reform UK candidate who said Nazis were visionaries won comfortably in Woodhouse. This is despite some members of his own party in the area never having met him.
