George Finch: The teenage Reform council leader taking on the ‘blob’

After finishing his A-Levels, George Finch had planned to go to university and become a history teacher. But instead, at the age of 19, he has become the youngest council leader in the UK, running Warwickshire County Council with a budget of £2bn. 

He has already set to work taking on the ‘blob’, but will he get the results Reform needs to show they’re ready to run a country? 

Camilla and Tim joined Finch at his office in Warwick to talk flags, migrant hotels and Farage, who he calls the most influential politician in the last 30 years.
