The '11 years of Tory tule' is lazy politics, something I am keen to avoid. However, these figures are necessary in order for the public to understand the nightmare scenario we have been left with and explain the measures that will now have to be taken over the next 24 months simply to break even. We're hopeful that we will be allowed to publish all figures that people want to see so that actual proof can be laid in front of them.
Peter Britcliffe must never be allowed anywhere near the seat of power in this borough ever again.
