About this episode
George became a national political sensation in 2025 when he became the leader of Warwickshire County Council at the age of 18.
The Reform councillor is now 19 and shares his experience of leadership.
This is a fascinating insight into Reform as a party, to the realignment on the right and about the impact of defections like Robert Jenrick's.
But it's also about the values that underpin George's thinking and about how you get things done in politics.
Who is really in charge? And who should be?
