Birmingham City Council Labour :Bankrupt
 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan...ngham-66715441


[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

my friends who bought in Birmingham never stop going on about what a great city it is and how it was the best decision ever to buy there.

Yes Mega pay-outs to the women staff

A Decade Ago Payments.

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.

No Slim

They never updated female pay.

Pathetic Labour Council

£87million
Hole.


Some other Councils are getting near
going bankrupt

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.

on a nice Holiday.

BBC Report

It does have BCFC, Pizza Shack, Stab City/Star City and Prego Pizza.

Like Graeme Souness, I blame Paul Pogba as to why Birmingham City Council has lost a **** ton of money.

All Labour or Green councils no doubt?

Of course they will :rolleyes:

I bet they'll sell off any remaining green spaces too.

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
