  1. Little Georgie here needs bringing down a peg or two, comes across as a complete twat (well everyone in conform does tbh) and is totally out of his depth.

  2. I assume this is only on here because reform. No confidence votes happen all the time regardless of party in councils up and down the country.

    Here’s a labour one: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c24gg35l0leo?app-referrer=deep-link

    There will be a bunch more too. Why give them more air time.

    Edit, all the down votes kinda just prove my point.

    I’m not usually one for ‘he’s got no experience’ because that’s how you end up stacked with elderly cranks but it feels like we have probably found the minimum age limit with this idiot.

    George is a complete cretin, he’s the same idiot who wrote to the Education Sec asking for permission to make 8 year old kids walk 5 miles to school.

    All he does is politically grandstand and frankly, as a Warwickshire Resident, him going is good for us, he’s not a serious person at all.

    Things must be pretty rough in Warwickshire, he looks like he’s aged about ten years in the last six months.

    Looks like the kind of annoying twat who got his head flushed in the toilet at school a lot.

    I am hoping that Reform get a whole host of councils to run between now and the next GE. We need to bring their level of competence out into the light.

    >Chilvers [Green councillor] said: “George Finch has abused the office of leader of the council and time and again brought Warwickshire into disrepute.

    “His repeated attacks on staff, partner institutions and use of his role for constant cheap and nasty political points scoring is unacceptable and violates rule of law, democratic norms and basic decency.”

    Finch labelled the move “chaos” and said it was being backed by other parties, such as the Liberal Democrats, Labour and [Restore Britain councillors who recently defected from Reform](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyz1vqqjq9o), without any alternative being put forward

    Finch also argues its a cheap political stunt but when everyone but the 9 tory councillors (formally 41/57) are supporting it, it seems way less cheap.

    Good! For too long, too often he’s come across as exceptionally arrogant and supremely self-entitled in his role.

    I hope that he loses the No Confidence vote!

    Worth bringing this up. He’s a dangerous idiot, and I really hope to see him running away with his tail between his legs.

  11. As someone from Warwickshire, I hope the vote goes through. He got absolutely rinsed by some Warwick Uni students recently and it just proved how they’re in it to disrupt everything, not to get things done.

  12. He had stupid childish war on flags,
    Reform your not doing your self’s any favours to not look ridiculous

    Shame on the media for wanting that shit show in national power

    *Green Party councillors called for a vote on Finch’s position at the next full council meeting on 17 March, suggesting he has “abused the office of leader”.*

    Ah so its politically motivated, and the Torys will probably save him because otherwise they’ll be handing it over to a rainbow of Greens, Libs and Labour, and they wont do that.
