Reform UK-led Warwickshire County Council has stripped its chief executive of the power to decide which flags are flown outside the council's headquarters.

The move follows a row over the decision to fly a Progress Pride Flag outside of Shire Hall, in Warwick, during Pride Month in June.

Warwickshire County Council leader George Finch sat next to council chief executive Monica Fogarty as cabinet agreed to move flag decision making powers to Reform councillor Edward Harris

Councillor George Finch had asked for the flag to be removed when he was elected as leader of the council, but chief executive Monica Fogarty refused.

The council's cabinet has now voted to hand the decision-making power to the council chairman, Reform councillor Edward Harris.

Reform Councils have stated they will only fly the British, English, Scottish, Welsh, Northern Irish, Royal, Commonwealth and County flags.

Love to see it.

That photograph of Cllr George Finch versus the mangerial class who've had it all their way for years is superb.
