The NHS have had some very generous pay increases over the last few years under the agenda for change model. 23% incremental uplift on my band since November 2018.

It wouldn't surprise me. Local government finances are dire, and there's likely to be a huge sell off of local authority assets in the next 12 months.
I thought nothing would surpass the impact of 2008 crash, but the next 18 months make that seem like a gentle bump in the road.

Largely because the Tories have slashed local government funding over the past ten years.

Nothing tp do with the redicuous spending habits of some LA's, Hull CC are skint, but still have money for vanity projects.

No it's very much to do with central government cuts at the same time as passing on more responsibilities to local authorities.
But if you're repeating easily disproven Conservative party talking points I guess it means at least someone in the party is doing their job right.
