Delivering on a promise…

One of Labour’s myths is that there is a direct correlation between raising and spending taxpayers money, and improvement in public services. As we look at the state of the NHS, inter alia, the myth is exposed for what it is.
Perhaps the most unpopular tax is the council tax, which has soared away from any relationship to improved service provision. It is truly impressive that Conservative controlled Hammersmith and Fulham council is actually set to cut its council tax by 3%.
Our public sector is awash with hordes of bureaucrats who have special ways of spending our money unproductively. It is good to see a new and dynamic Conservative council seeking to tackle this head on.
