Rishi Sunak has teared into Labour at a campaign launch at a Derbyshire bus depot this morning by raising the issue of cash-strapped local councils, saying Labour is "unable to balance the books when it is in local government".
The prime minister then added “just look what’s happening here, Nottingham Council effectively bankrupt.
After having a fire-sale of assets, they still can’t balance the books, in contrast to the extraordinarily well-run Conservative Nottinghamshire County Council".
He also said that "whenever Labour runs something, they run it into the ground.
In Birmingham, they have effectively bankrupted the largest local authority in Europe.
They have saddled their constituents with a 21% council tax rise.” Report by Czubalam.
