I can't get the face of that tory mp out of my head, he looks like they are lancing piles from Boris's arse and raising them in a petri dish where they are never ever told they shouldn't do something until they are released into parliament.

This might still all be forgotten in a few weeks but I think the people itt and elsewhere who are confidently claiming it will be, or claiming it's of no real significance, don't seem to have factored in the unique situation literally everyone in the country is living through.

that's the punishment you get for being the most anti-tory region of England, mind you it's probably the same levels of cuts in some of the red wall constituencies that voted for that knave to get brexit done and for a bit of the old leveling up.

my Scouse friend Dave is from a public school background. But his family fell into abject poverty when his dad got sent down for fiddling the books at his accountancy firm to cover up loads of money his business partner had stolen off him. It's basically a plot from Brookside!

This has been a thing for the best part of a decade - poorer councils have disproportionately borne the cost of austerity compared with richer authorities which tend to be in Tory areas.
Funnily enough it was Liverpool back then as well.

yes, council funding formulae are boring but v important. the first round of crisis funding factored in deprivation & the second round didn't, I'm guessing due to pressure from Tory councils
