This is irresponsible and reckless. Welcome to Reform.

On one hand it is good to have the youth of the country more involved in governing – it is their future and they have a right and responsibility to help steer it.
On the other hand, look at the sheer amount of juvenile shit slinging going on here. Boasting about setting a book on fire after your receive it as a gift from a bested opponent.

He was doing so badly at the first role why not give him another? Failing upwards like a good reform candidate should.

All this proves to me is that the roles he has in those councils is just bloat. Some arbitrary leader that serves very little in the machinations of the council process. Provided the councils are still running in some sort of effective fashion, whoever was in the roles before him was clearly stealing a wage. I bet there’s so many of these positions in councils everywhere that could be scrapped. What does the overall leader do that a meeting of the heads of departments couldn’t?

This has to be a joke? People looked at angry lil Georgie here and thought, yes he’s doing a smashing job let’s getting him running our council.

I was very responsible as a teenager (had a job, studied hard, cared about my future and realised my parents were actively harmful for it so moved out)…
..but I’ve still mellowed out and become a lot wiser through life experience.
It’s much easier to understand people you disagree with when you’ve actually had to make some tough personal decisions.
Clearly was a bad idea electing a 19 year old.

Bloody good rep this guy. We all know he’s rock n roll really.

Wasn’t enough for him being an utter bellend running one council, they had to give him another

And people want the Reform clown show running the country. Can you imagine what they’ll be like if they get a parliamentary majority?

Vote Tory, get Reform. As if we didn’t already know this

Maybe unpopular opinion, but as a former young person I think there should be a minimum age of around 26 to run for any political position. Also why is this now a thing?

From my [understanding](https://www.gov.uk/understand-how-your-council-works) they aren’t quite the same, insofar size/responsibility goes. I’m no expert on how goes in practice, but impression is either this guy is remarkably organised or delegates hands off enormously to more experienced/knowledgable – as is often case for young managers with mostly older staff.
**Warwickshire County Council (Current)**
**County councils remit:**
>education
>transport
>planning
>fire and public safety
>social care
>libraries
>waste management
>trading standards
Never underestimate the stupidity of people in polling booths.

Anybody who’s listened to this numpty speak will know he just parrots some of the most vague right wing sayings, and is all style and no substance, bad style at that.
Wise-Reflection-7400 on
For sure he’s young and naive and in over his head… but considering he’s 19 he’s already a better communicator than most politicians. If Reform stay the course and he continues to be a prominent figure I think he’s definitely one to watch for the future.

To be fair these are two councils in the exact same area.
Warwickshire is the upper-tier authority and Nuneaton and Bedworth is the lower-tier authority, so they provide different services for the same area.
They’re due to be reorganised in 2028 into unitary authorities, where one council will provide both tiers of services.

He a very talented politician.
The left going after him with everything cause he good at his job

And he couldn’t even run the first one properly. It really does show you how thick Reform voters are.
