If Finch was confirmed as the council's leader, he would be among the youngest in that position in the country

Is there really a number of 18 year old council leaders? Or is the BBC talking shite again?

Predictable.

Reform selects 18-year-old to run £2bn council

His Kipper age looks in the late 30s.

This strongly suggests that nobody else wanted to step up. An extreme example, perhaps, but I reckon there'll be lots of councils where Reform really struggles to fill the Cabinet for four years.

On Reform, Net Zero and Lincolnshire's planned green energy transformation.

“I don’t think anyone here is against net zero when it makes sense. A local housing estate had rooftop solar installed recently which was extremely popular – it earns money for the council and still lowers bills. Wouldn’t it make sense to do this everywhere before industrialising the countryside?”

No, it wouldn't. Not least because people would object to too many new houses.

I'm reminded of that rubbish windmill David Cameron had installed.

If I'd not allowed myself to be steamrollered by a flash git when I ended up having my house re-roofed, I'd have given serious consideration to PV panels on my roof where a redundant chimney was removed, as that side faces south.

Thing is, solar arrays are actually pretty unobtrusive IMO.

I wonder how often he's seen in Skeggy or Boston?

The arrogance and conceit is staggering oh wait it's Reform.

[Killer Whale]

It's a performance to solidify their position with Nimbys And idiots.
'Giving notice' isn't going to make his fantasy future Reform government immune from breach of contract cases, so presumably Tice would have to change the law, instantly making the UK a pariah amongst investors.
Still, maybe his mates can make a few easy quid form the temporary instability this might create. The grift never stops.

More Buyer's remorse.

Speaking to the BBC on Thursday afternoon, Tice appeared to row back on the specific commitment to scrap AR7 contracts, saying a Reform government would only oppose “any form of variation” to them, something his letter did not appear to set out. Asked about the apparent change, Tice said “some people may have misread the wording of the letter”.

The junior energy minister, Michael Shanks, said Tice’s letter and subsequent interview were indicative of “clown-car economics”.

Scrapping clean energy projects could be politically risky for Reform given the number of jobs they support. The party’s mayor for Hull and East Yorkshire, Luke Campbell, has previously said he would back such plans if they create jobs in the region.

That's the second time I've noticed Luke Campbell being more sensible than the rest of his party.
