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

Warwickshire County Council leader resigns, leaving 18-year-old deputy in charge due to health reasons. Rob Howard, previously elected in May, cited health challenges for stepping down, with George Finch to serve as the interim leader. The Reform UK councillor's resignation comes after the party made significant gains in local elections, forming a minority administration in Warwickshire. Howard will continue as a county councillor while Finch takes over leadership responsibilities.
