Since September 2000, someone has never forgiven me for having acquired a second school governorship a couple of weeks short of the age of 23. By April 2003, I was being told that at 25 I was 30 years too young to be a Labour District Council candidate, although there still had to be no selection meeting for fear that I might have carried it.
But how the world turns. Last year, George Finch of Reform UK became the Leader of Warwickshire County Council, with its budget of two billion pounds. Last week, he was also elected to Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council. And yesterday, he became Leader of the 15-strong Reform Group, which is now the largest on the council, putting him in pole position to become Leader of a second local authority. He is 19 years old. Nineteen. I feel 102. How about you?
