Reform councillors criticised after voting to spend £150,000 on political advisers

The Warwickshire county council, led by 19-year-old Reform UK councillor George Finch, has faced criticism for voting to spend £150,000 on hiring political advisers. This move contradicts the party's pledge to cut waste and save money. The plans were put forward by Finch, who was recently elected as the council's leader. During the council meeting, where the decision was made, protesters gathered outside to voice their opposition. The article highlights the perceived hypocrisy of the Reform UK councillors' actions, as they have advocated for reducing government spending, yet have approved this expenditure on political advisers.
