A Reform UK-led council has a new interim leader, thought to be the youngest ever in the UK at 18 years old.

Councillor George Finch was confirmed as the interim leader at Warwickshire County Council, after Cllr Rob Howard stepped down from his post just 41 days into the job.

In a statement, Cllr Howard cited "health challenges", saying it was a "very difficult decision", but that he would continue as a county councillor.
