The young Doncaster Reform UK couple who now hold three seats in city

Sophie Robinson was elected to Hatfield Town Council as a councillor last week after winning the Dunsville ward in a by-election, joining partner Isaiah-John Reasbeck who was elected to the council last summer.

And in addition, Coun Reasbeck also represents Bentley on City of Doncaster Council, defending the seat last year after a by-election was called after the resignation of Coun Sam Booth after just two months.

Coun Robinson was elected to Hatfield Town Council last week after winning 152 votes, ahead of Labour’s Mark Johnson who polled 138 votes.

A party spokesperson said: “The result marks another sign of growing support for Reform UK across Doncaster, as residents continue to back candidates promising practical solutions, transparency, and a focus on local priorities.

Ms Robinson said: "I’m incredibly grateful to everyone in Dunsville who placed their trust in me. This result shows people want change and want their voices heard locally. I will work hard for all residents and focus on the everyday issues that matter most to our community."

“It was a close finish but we got over the line. Time to crack on with the job.”

The result came after a period of upheaval on the council, with Coun James Hart taking over as mayor late last year after previous incumbent Mick Glynn resigned, ending a tumultuous few months for the council, which had struggled to retain administrative staff needed to keep it functioning.

Meanwhile, last year, Coun Reasbeck distanced himself from old social media posts in which he told an X user they should be “f***ing terrified” of Islam.

He received intense backlash on social media ahead of the May 2025 local elections where he was standing in the Hexthorpe and Balby North ward.

In one post on X, dated August 6, 2024, he wrote: “Bradford has one of the biggest Muslim populations in Europe it is also one of the biggest s***holes in Europe draw your own conclusions.”

He then followed it up on the same day when he wrote in response to another post that people should be “f***ing terrified” of Islam.

He was later asked if he stood by the posts he’d made only 13 months earlier.

He told the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS): “I do not stand by those posts. I especially don’t stand by the wording. I was 18 at the time and I wasn’t even looking at the council at all really.”

Reasbeck said if he could “reword” the posts, he would, but said he wouldn’t get into what words he would choose if given that chance.

He is the youngest councillor on the City of Doncaster Council while his partner is understood to be the youngest member of Hatfield Town Council.

Coun Reasbeck has alco clashed with former Mayor Mick Glynn, who called him a “charlatan” and a “vote for Liebour” in a social media attack.

A post by Coun Reasbeck encouraging people to join Reform UK was met with ire by Coun Glynn who wrote: “You're nothing more than a charlatan - a vote for you is another vote for the Liebour party?”
