does anyone know why Labour abstained at the vote for emergency budget cuts?

They didn’t. They voted against the emergency plan, with all the other non-Tory councillors. They abstained on accepting the Section 114 report from the council’s CFO, which was accepted by both the Tories and Lib Dems.

I see, thank you

Very difficult from my privileged position to understand how these budget cuts will affect people’s every day lives. Must be awful to have a service you rely on abruptly withdrawn

It makes for an interesting paradox as people are making some serious money from this:

Tony McArdle is one of two commissioners sent in by the government after the authority said it may not balance its books. He and his colleague Brian Roberts are costing the authority £1,500 for every day that they work.

I wonder if they’ll close down all the doctors soon. Probably no point going to my GP anymore

GP surgery should be unaffected no? Assume that would be NHS funded rather than N’hants council

no idea, I’m an idiot.

Hopefully you are right!

Turns out the council had been using NHS money for adult social care

Whole thing is a shitshow

I think you’ve tried ‘Corbyn loves terrorists’ already guys
