Councillor Jo Bird said, "Talking of waste, I would like to express our support from all the Green councillors to all Unite members who work for Biffa waste collection services and their strike action this week.

I co-organised the first Co-op Ways Forward conference. They have all been held here in this very hall. This was in 2014, in response to the crises at the Co-operative Bank and its take over by hedge funds

Unfortunately, Labour projections don’t really add up. It doesn’t seem like Labour understand the difference between a budget pressure and a net budget gap.
