The Thurrock Independents, also known as the Thurrock Independents Party (TIP),[8][9] was a localist[10] and populist[6] British political party based in Thurrock, Essex, England. It was formed in January 2018 when seventeen Thurrock councillors, including then-East of England MEP Tim Aker, broke-away from the UK Independence Party (UKIP) after claiming to have grown disillusioned with party politics.[11][12] At its height in 2018, the party was Thurrock Council's official opposition group and had two members in the European Parliament. It declined after multiple defections and election defeats and was left with only one councillor after the 2023 elections.[13] The party disbanded later that year.[14]
