Re: Government & Post Election Discussion

Boris Johnson tops Conservative poll as favourite to replace Theresa May
Boris Johnson has returned to being the darling of the Tory grassroots after quitting government in protest at the prime minister's Brexit strategy.
The former foreign secretary, who quit the role last month, has topped a monthly poll of Conservative Party members as to who they want as their next party leader.
It is the first time Mr Johnson has achieved such popularity since March 2016, soon after the ex-London mayor came out in support of Brexit.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
Some pretty strong words from Andrew Lewer, the MP for Northamptonshire South about the underlying financial pressures affecting all local authorities with social care responsibilities.
https://www.theguardian.com/society/...council-crisis
Quote:
A Conservative MP has said ministers need to urgently “learn the lessons” from the financial collapse of Tory-run Northamptonshire county council if they are to prevent more councils slipping into insolvency.
|
Quote:
“A culture of poor performance and decision-making in Northamptonshire county council fuelled the current crisis, but there are bigger, national drivers that also have a significant bearing on the position of not only Northamptonshire, but other local authorities too,” said Lewer.
|
Quote:
Council social care bosses in England warned earlier this year that care services for older and disabled adults were on the brink of collapse because of funding pressures. The Local Government Association (LGA) estimates that adult social care faces a £3.5bn funding gap by 2025.

Politicians in Westminster continue to pay lip service to this crisis basically as being in hospital lately just cemented my thoughts of how big a crisis we have in this country in regards to our social care system.
You could say its a bit like Nero fiddled while Rome burned..

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
We as a nation are also paying the highest amount of our GDP in taxes since the seventies. One wonders where all the money is going?
Maybe a freedom of information request to Northamptonshire council should be made as to how many council employees are being paid more than the Prime Minister?

Local council funding has been drastically cut: https://www.ft.com/content/9c6b5284-...7-502f7ee26895
Whilst I am sure council leaders may be inefficient and spending too much it's unlikely to be the cause of the funding crisis since even paying them three times the PM is small change in contrast to the budgets we're talking about.
Wherever the extra tax is going it's being spent by central government.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
It's the BINO negotiating position. Cameron had something similar when bent over taking the EU broom handle.
