🥀 Labour thinks you don't pay enough tax. Under their Government our budget is being slashed. Having exhausted our reserves and balances and failed to negotiate with their friends in Government, the door is now open for massive council tax increases. https://t.co/8PsXd01hGh

The councils are among those expected to lose out under a move to shift funding to more deprived areas.

More god tier cycling infrastructure erected by the Labour council on our old friend the Wandsworth Bridge Road. Easy to miss in the dark and get thrown in front of moving traffic by the angles here. These misguided efforts to turn WBR into an obstacle course must stop.

When it comes to the Govt Local Finance reforms, @HFLabour seems to be making it up as they go along. Two weeks ago: funding gap “utter tosh” Now: £34m funding gap for 26/27 Do their Cllrs just not know the detail or are they in denial? https://t.co/R4F6Uhkk9U

An IFS report had previously indicated Hammersmith and Fulham would be one of the "biggest losers" from the Government's proposed changes to council funding

No comment.
Nadhim Zahawi’s story about his tax affairs doesn’t add up. After months of denials, the truth emerges. His position is untenable. Rishi Sunak must dismiss him from his Cabinet.👇🏻

Latest kite to be flown by Chancellor Reeves in the scramble to find extra revenues: national insurance on rental incomes. It would bring in a pittance and undermine the rented sector on which more and more people depend. But, hey, ho, what does that matter when you’re

🥀 Labour-run LBHF have been found to be the 3rd worst Borough for road conditions in London, despite raking in millions from fines and punitive charges from car users. 🧐 Where is the money going? https://t.co/BgqVqTlhHr

Wind is this morning meeting less than 5% of our electricity needs and a mere 3% of total electricity generating wind capacity is currently being utilised — simply because there is so little wind. Yes, I know there are days when wind generates much more. But, until ways are

It just gets worse for Starmer/Reeves and the Labour government. Now the prestigious, left-leaning National Institute for Economic and Social Research (NIESR) says the Chancellor will have a £50 billion fiscal black hole to fill come the October Budget — and this time she won’t

🚨Labour don’t care what you think about the WBR. 👷♀️They’re pressing ahead with roadworks that will cause even more congestion. And they haven’t even bothered to consult local people. We are demanding a full consultation with residents before any changes go ahead.👇

UK GDP declined 0.1% in May after 0.3% decline in April. Looks like Q2 will show decline overall. So perhaps ministers can now stop spouting nonsense about being the ‘fastest growing economy in the G7’. As some of us have pointed out, it was always going to look a forlorn boast

🚨 Today I’ve submitted an FOI request to H&F Council about the Wandsworth Bridge Road parklets 🚨 They cost £360k to install. We deserve to know how much more taxpayer money is being spent on damage, repairs, and maintenance. I’ll share what I find! 🔍

Enjoyed writing this for @ConHome . In a nutshell: fine to seek efficiencies. But you need to be vaguely competent about how you do it - and the signs aren’t good for Reform.

Just renewing my residents’ parking permit with @LBHF, however the wasteful Labour council have increased the cost for my band 4 car from £119 to £230! They use motorists as cash cows while wasting hundreds of thousands on anti-traffic measures like the despised Parklets on WBR…
