  1. Council boss quits, leaving 18-year-old in charge

    The recently elected leader of Warwickshire County Council has resigned, leaving his 18-year-old deputy in charge.

    Reform UK councillor Rob Howard, who was in power for 41 days, said he had made the decision with “much regret”, citing health reasons were behind his departure.

  2. New Warwickshire councillor sorry after discovering he can’t represent Reform UK

    A new Warwickshire county councillor has apologised for a “mistake” that means he will be unable to serve under the Reform UK banner for now.

    Councillor Luke Shingler swept to a comfortable victory in Nuneaton’s Galley Common ward having been promoted as the Reform candidate until five days before the ballot.

    He took to social media on the Saturday before the polls to tell residents he was not allowed to “run under a political organisation, party or movement due to my employment” but that it was too late to change ballot papers that linked him to Reform.
