Poorer areas miss out as £100m of emergency cash diverted to richer Tory councils with lower infection rates

[Thomas]

Must try and dig out some old posts from old forums on this sort of labour party tactic to stop people voting in other parties in their "fiefdoms" that they have been telling us in scotland now for ten years if not more of how we are missing out on the glories of labour rule by voting in the snp.



Now its the northern english turn for turning their backs on labour by telling them how the "nasty tories" are robbing them blind. ::



It really is so feckin predictable.



This is the same labour party who spent years and millions of taxpayers cash fighting equal pay for council workers in glasgow when they were in power , and then when they got booted out , started a campaign for equal pay for council workers and tried to blame the snp over it. :roll:



Now that northern england has voted tory , they will probably over the years start to find a rise in their living standards and lifestyle that we in glasgow and wider scotland found as soon as we kicked labour out.



Every area labour take control of  , they drag it down in to the gutter with them.

Earlier this year it was revealed that significant sums of money could be getting diverted away from certain councils because of a new formula which significantly downgrades the importance of deprivation in assessing need.



The 'fair funding review' would have seen tens of millions of pounds stripped from certain councils and doled out elsewhere, and despite being momentarily shelved, it seems grants to 'fight the pandemic' have incurred similar weighting.





The biggest losses in percentage terms were suffered by Knowsley (38.8 per cent), Blackpool (37.4 per cent), South Tyneside (32.8 per cent) and Liverpool (32 per cent), according to the analysis.
