Has anyone found out if our Leedscouncillors were at the Reform Conference? And what have they said about their party leader endorsing assaulting young women who speak out of turn

Has anyone written to their councillor or MP about the Reform conference endorsing assaulting women

I've reached out to my city council to ask whether my councillers were present, and whether they were cheering and clapping alongside their party leader as young women in the audience had their hair pulled out and were beaten with sticks.

Below is a draft letter to my council, I'd like to know if anyone else has had any luck looking into this:

As a member of Leeds city constituency I understand i am represented by 10 councillors from the Reform party, which represents over 10% of the seats.

I wish to know is any of these councillors were present at the event at the Reform conference last weekend, and whether they joined their party leader I applauding, clapping, cheering and laughing as a young woman was assaulted in the audience.

I feel absolutely disturbed that a party that actively promotes the assault of women represents me at this council and I urge them to explain  their implicit support for this violence.

Furthermore ad the co-chair of XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX festival next April i invite all members of Leeds city council to attend our charity event next April.

Violence against women at this community event will not be tolerated.

You're aggrieved and disgusted at the behaviour of our elected representatives
