āWhat do councils spend all the money on?ā Is, in my view, one of the most profoundly emblematic of our timesĀ we go about our lives, backed up by councils and governments and complain they arenāt neededĀ reform win elections based on āweāre gonna go in and slash all the waste!ā Only to later admit there effectively isnāt any oh and by the way we need to increase council tax Ā Now all we have to offer is racism and ineptitude sorry about thatĀ https://www.gbnews.com/money/reform-elon-musk-doge-failed-savings So where does the money go? On a multitude of services - but the increasingly aged population and the care provision required is a large part of itĀ the government could give councils more money to avoid council tax rises Ā - but the we would have to pay more in jewels taxation Ā and as a country we tend to pay less than other similar countriesĀ so we end up with an expensive mend and make do approachĀ I donāt see any political parties offering a solution Ā Starmer is obviously lacking in many areas but he is the result of a hostile media and a reluctant population willing to hear truths Ā (wait until we hear how much we will need to increase defence spending by in the coming years) If a party stopped pretending all the money was wasted but published a list of costs, projections and proposals that wasnāt gutted to suit the landscape of needing to not bemonstered by the press or deemed too expensive by voters I would be very interested Ā Ā Ā canāt see that happening thoĀ (also worth reminding ourselves of all the brexiters who said things like āI donāt care how much it costs Ā I donāt care if I lose my job Ā itās about taking back control!ā And yet now we find them complaining about increasing costs. As they always will complain about everything Ā because itās always someone elseās fault)Ā Ā -

Why do Councils need more funding? What are they spending our money on, how efficiently are they running? are they performing an adequate service as is? Are they viewing the public with contempt, that we will continually foot larger bills to cover all and any costs? Do our counsellors do their best, for us? why are they adding this on to the residents, on top of tax already paid? Council tax is not insubstantial. The service provided is not great. I do not believe they use our money effectively.Ā Our CT Bill is Ā£50 a week. Ā -
