Farage may be a fascist folkwit but you can't trust Labour, who are attacking local democracy to save money (so they say) without any mandate from the electorate, local or national

Yea Farage is exactly that, but merging the county and district councils seems a sensible idea if it does indeed give more autonomy to the local powers that be? I do however get the scepticism as money saving is clearly at the heart of this

It doesn't give more autonomy, it takes it away. It's a coup against local democracy

#Angela-Rayner's decision to suspend local democracy in an attemp to postpone the inevitable midterm electoral debacle for @labouruk.bsky.social will deprive the emerging unitary authorities from any legitimacy for decades to come. #DevolutionFiasco

Any idiot doing this deserves all they get, which will be debt and possible prosecution. Where has common sense gone 🤷🏽‍♀️

What would Farage know about democracy - he's a Poundland demagogue.

Why is his detrimental behaviour tolerated?

Various local news have discussed the proposed council tax rises on Facebook. There have been a *lot* of posted responses suggesting people withhold payment.

Many are from accounts with little to no personal detail, and only very occasional posts.

It won't be a problem. As a 'man of the people', I'm sure he'll dig deep to pay people's fines for non-payment of CT.
