Nigel Farage is furious this council leader won’t take down its Pride flag and these 13 fabulous comebacks are all worth running up the pole
Spare a thought – only kidding – for Nigel Farage, who is furious that a country council where Reform UK has the most seats (albeit not a majority) has ignored his orders to stop flying the Pride flag.
So furious is the Reform UK leader with Warwickshire county council and its chief executive Monica Fogarty that he took time out from his busy schedule not going to Clacton to put a video on Twitter all about it, finishing by telling Fogarty to look for a new job.

This unelected bureaucrat thinks she knows better than the people.

The council is no overall control. Reform’s 18 year-old interim council leader cannot unilaterally decide on this policy and order the CEO to do it. There is a cabinet system, and the councillors vote. This is local democracy. Not arbitrary rule. https://t.co/8P8oexlzmo

Awe. Reform are really upset because of flags again.
The Albanian Prime Minister really got to you, didn’t he — good work @ediramaal.
Local government has nothing to do with you, Nige. Especially a council where Reform holds a minority control.
You have no power, so resort to…

Reform UK is a minority administration on Warwickshire County Council.
22/57 seats.
It’s widely reported as a calamity.
The Reform UK leader of the council resigned and left an 18 year old with 0 work experience and 0 council experience.
Maybe sort that out before you lecture… https://t.co/vSZ9FFWm3V

Warwickshire County Council has no flag policy. You do not get to tell her what flags can or can’t be flown. If you want a flag policy then put it to the vote of the entire Warwickshire County Council. To win you need a majority of 29 votes. That is how it works.
