[Birmingham City Council has declared itself effectively bankrupt. The local authority - the largest in Europe - has issued a Section 114 notice preventing all but essential spending to protect core services. The pressures have been linked to a £760m bill to settle equal pay claims. In a joint statement, the leader and deputy leader of the Labour authority said the move was a "necessary step as we seek to get our city back on a sound financial footing". ] Life In The City |

2 things
1. Labour show how good they are at managing finances 2. The reason they are in this mess is because they actively discriminated against women |

The Effects of 13 years of austerity really starting to show through. School buildings programmed scrapped, budgets slashed year on year, despite greater needs.
The country has at least another 6/7 years of this under this gov then the labour one to follow.

Energy companies = record profits
Amazon, Starbucks, and other corporations also raking in ridiculous profits, as services crumble in the country. The politicians in thrall to capital are literally killing us. If only there was a way to take some of those profits to redistribute. I don't know, call it a tax or something.

if they dont sell off their assets, residents will end up paying much more for vastly reduced services. They haven't even touched yet on the unemployment it will cause too
