Teenager elected leader of Reform-led council | James O’Brien on LBC

George Finch, a 19-year-old Reform councillor, has been elected permanent leader of Warwickshire County Council. This makes him the youngest council leader in the UK following the vote on Tuesday, months after his predecessor Rob Howard quit just a few weeks after being elected. Reform UK put several teenagers in charge of vital public services earlier this year following a string of local election wins, sparking concerns about their experience. Reform won overall control of 10 councils in the local elections back in May. Now, the teenager has been permanently elected as council leader following three rounds of voting, after the chairman cast the deciding vote.
