The bid to oust the council leader has failed A bid by the Conservative group at Cornwall Council to remove the leader of the council has failed. Conservative councillors had put forward a motion to remove Julian German from office over his decision to retain deputy leader Adam Paynter after he had been sanctioned by his own Liberal Democrat party. An extraordinary full council meeting was called this morning after the motion was tabled by Conservative group leader Linda Taylor. The Lib Dems had considered a complaint against Cllr Paynter after he shared a confidential email sent to him by a colleague.
