  1. The tried and tested tactic of “make better by making life worse for everyone, instead of implement a tax on the mega rich”

  2. Like I said the other time this was posted, first do a deep audit of every bankrupt council, and every council on the verge of it, to figure out where they’re pissing out all their money.

  3. Labour are doing so many positive things and yet their popularity plummets. We really are a terrible populace

  4. Meanwhile, labour plans to cut benefits for the people who need it. Sounds like lipservice

  5. Hallelujah. Blaire never changed the funding formula to allocate resources fairly. The current system assumes that someone in Kensington and Chelsea needs as much support and care from their local authority as someone in the most deprived areas of the country.

  6. Moving council funding is a sticking plaster, what we need is council tax reform and at a bare minimum adding bands.

  7. Labour have had a blinder of a week. Abortion legal up to full term and on demand suicide. OK, not in the manifesto but go Labour!

  8. This is based on already regressive council tax bands. The council tax bands need an overhaul first and foremost, based on actual value of the house in present day, not from 1991 which sees affluent areas like Kensington and Chelsea pay less council tax.
