Was wondering, what if this Labour Govt, was as hostile and politically vindictive towards a Reform controlled council, much in the way that Tory Govts have been towards Labour controlled councils such as Barnsley. Would there be an outcry?
Makes you wonder doesnt it It can't bode well for the Mayor from a political aspect. Guess all eyes will be on Donny now and how it pans out
That occurred to me yesterday but I very much doubt the government would do that. We live near Burton on Trent in Derbyshire, and both Derbyshire and Staffordshire County councils have gone to Reform. If the government do what you suggest, it might get a bit grim living round here.
No I don’t mean that at all because that never happened and if you think that then you really are out of touch and haven’t a clue. Remember Sunak bragging in his PM hustings that he’d diverted funds that were earmarked for a ‘deprived area’ and sent them to somewhere. ‘ more favourably’ Then we heard about Richmond, his constituency, receiving in excess of £40 million whilst Barnsley were told they could have peanuts after being promised vital funding. To many, including posters on , it’s like those 14 years of Tory rule where we had years of unnecessary Austerity whilst the rich got tax breaks never happened.
Definitely I don’t know where we go from here we haven’t a single electable party ! The two main parties are just playing right into Reforms grubby little hands.
