💰One of the biggest problems with PFI? Following the money.
Contracts change hands. Investors come and go. Money disappears into complex corporate structures.
The public funds it. But who's profiting?

About 2,400 others who already pay some council tax will lose part of their rebate.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

Goodness knows how they would manage a country let alone a county.
The black hole in Durham County Council’s budget has grown by £11.1mn in the past two months under the control of Reform UK.
Its cabinet has been forced to approve a £10mn list of cuts.

You would have to have no emotional intelligence not to realise that what Dan is saying is true. No amount of short term tactical advantage for the Labour Party can ever justify the misery and fear that their actions are engendering. NO RACIST IS EVER GOING TO VOTE LABOUR. STOP IT.
As many of you know, I do a lot of volunteer work with asylum seekers and refugees. One thing that’s going on is that Labour’s hostility towards migrants and the counterbattery from Tories and Reform is causing horrific fear and anxiety among vulnerable people who deserve our protection.
