Tony Stevens declined to comment. The Reform UK party won 18 seats in the Devon County Council elections held on 1 May - becoming the second biggest party on the council behind the Liberal Stevens won the Alphington and Cowick seat with 1,126 votes - 72 votes ahead of the Labour candidate Yvonne Atkinson, with the Liberal Democrats a close third on 1,030 county council elections, spending limits are set in each ward according to the number of Alphington and Cowick the limit was set at £1,827.04 - however the election expenditure return papers for Stevens show he spent £1, was previously the election agent for Stevens but papers seen by the BBC show Sheridan was appointed as election agent on 3 June, a day before the election expenses forms were also alleges that a £250 podcast recording expense claimed by Tony Stevens, who won his Exwick and St Thomas seat by 22 votes, should be split equally between the brothers - further raising the expenditure of Neil said he reported his concerns relating to Sheridan and Neil and Tony Stevens to the police and to the Electoral Commission on 1 said he had made "a clear promise to the people of Exeter" to "hold our candidates and councillors to the same high standards we expect of others".A spokesman from the national Reform UK party told the BBC: "Ed Hill has been removed as chairman of Reform UK Exeter after bringing the party into disrepute."There's currently an ongoing internal investigation into the matter so we won't be commenting further."

Exceeding limits on candidate expenses can lead to an unlimited fine, while making a false declaration attracts the same punishment and/or up to six months in prison for a less serious summary conviction, or up to 12 months on indictment, according to the College of Policing.A spokesperson for the Electoral Commission said the spending limit applied "to all spending during the regulated period in the run up to the local elections" including any personal money spent and donations received. It said: "Any allegations of spending over the limit would be a matter for the police."Devon and Cornwall Police did not respond to requests for comment.
