In Warwickshire, 18-year-old Reform councillor George Finch has become council leader after the Reform leader of just six weeks stood down over “ill health”.
Cllr Finch is listed as an online tutor with the company ‘Superprof’, charging £15 an hour for his education services. “I’m 18 turning 19, I have just finished A-Level and I know what you need to pass your exams, the Knowledge is [sic] the most important area of A-Level or GCSE’s.”
“[I] specialise in Tudor History, Cold War, USA politics, UK politics and many other areas in history too,” the profile adds.
The work is not listed on his council declaration of interests. It is possible he hasn’t earned any money from it. If he has however, he may have broken the rules on failing to declare financial interests. (This outlet put the tutoring questions to Cllr Finch but has not yet received a reply).
Byline Times understands that Cllr Finch plans – or had planned – to return to university in the East Midlands in September for his second year of studies.
So it's confirmed. Teenager George Finch is now the permanent Reform leader of Warwickshire council. His predecessor stood down just weeks after winning power, supposedly over health issues.
I wrote a bit about him recently for @bylinetimes.bsky.social

God the tabloids and Brexit dinosaurs were boring today… 🦖
Braying the same “betrayal” lines they’ve brayed since they got what they wanted… then found they had no benefits in it whatsoever.
Still they came out today to play victim yet again.
But the world has moved on.

The horror show of xenophobia that was #PressPreview tonight.
80 million Europeans are apparently coming, they are bringing their families, they will slip away and not return when their visas expire, because - as everyone in that studio seems to agree - Europeans just cannot be trusted. Poor. ~AA

If this EU reset results in 4 years of better growth and economic recovery before the next election, the hardline Brexiters are going to have their arses handed to them on a plate.

Starmer’s EU reset triggers outbreak of Brexit derangement syndrome | John Crace
Critics were voicing their opinions long before even an outline of a deal was announced
You look at the Tories, Reform and the rightwing press after the Brexit reset and you see just how mad they are. Genuinely frothingly insane.
Desperate to insist that their Brexit moronathon is a win. Spitting with rage at their own failure.
This sums them up…

Nigel Farage will tear up Britain’s Brexit treaties if he becomes Prime Minister, starting with Sir Keir Starmer’s “abject surrender” of a reset deal with Brussels.
Pledging to "scrap a deal" before reading it or having any idea what it contains tells you everything you need to know about Nigel Farage. ~AA

Young, stuck and shut out: a new EU deal could change that
Even a capped, time-limited youth visa scheme would be of value to young people in the UK and EU
Young people are locked out of opportunities their older siblings took for granted. A UK–EU youth visa deal could begin to change that.

What’s supposed to happen?
If my daughter is out and masked men grab her, claiming they’re ICE, drag her away w/out letting her prove she’s a citizen… w/out calling me, her dad… what is she supposed to do?
Does she not have the right to fight back, as we have taught her, to free herself. Run?

Immigrants “are ambitious, enthusiastic & hard-working. They want a better life, & a better life for their children, and they are willing to do backbreaking work in order to secure it. They show all the attributes which we praise in others but condemn if it's demonstrated by an immigrant.”

Labour must avoid ‘naive’ lurch to right after Reform success, Haigh warns
Exclusive: former transport minister criticises party’s direction and calls on Starmer to focus on issues like taxation and welfare reform
Starmer is barking up the wrong tree.
Among Labour 2024 voters, 43% said they would consider voting Green and 40% LibDem. Just 9% would consider voting Reform.
Labour should be setting the attack dogs on Farage, but it can't do that because it supports Brexit.

Reform is a Limited Company
Farage owns 53%
It was formed in 2019 to push for a “no-deal Brexit”
It wants to reintroduce the Liz Truss budget
It wants to privatise the NHS
& invest in fossil fuels
Close the BBC
& break International law
It’s a scam

I've wracked my brains & can only come up with one explanation that makes sense for the Labour direction.
They think their only hope is that it comes to an election & we see that it is them or Reform. And that for all our big talk about hating them, we'll still vote for them to keep out Reform.

Starmer will not revoke his red lines on Freedom of Movement and the Single Market because of facts and reasons. The only thing that will move him is Labour voters shifting in large numbers to the LibDems and Greens in local and by-elections. He must fear progressives more than Brexiters.

Scatter poll: thinking about the UK's relationship with the EU, would you support or oppose the government securing a better trading relationship with the EU if it meant the UK agreeing to the following...?
🚨 NEW POLLING: A majority of Brits (52%) would be open to aligning with ALL EU rules on goods and products if it led to a better trading relationship with the EU. Only a quarter would oppose such a move.
The public is clearly in favour of a common sense approach. #Brexit

Brilliant news. I'm quite emotional. Govt has agreed to investigate Council Tax rapid debt collection escalation that is catastrophic for millions. Miss one MONTH'S payment and within six weeks you can have baliffs forcing you to pay for the YEAR plus £100s admin charges.
