....to pay for the layer of bureaucracy Rayner is about to add. The last thing we need is another layer of snouts in the trough.

What possible use are regional mayors and their accompanying public sector administrators?

Good ole Labour, the state apparatus grows. Voted Labour did you? Regretting it yet?

Back in the day Scotland had regional councils and district councils with distinct duties and services.

It worked about as well as you might expect as parallel gravy train tracks were laid.

You do wonder if politicians should be made to sit an exam to test their mental capabilities.

Nothing more corrupt, wasteful and incompetent than local councils.

Obviously Labour dont consider Council tax payers "The working man".

Its ludicous, but then what do you expect from behind the bike sheds Rayner?
