THREAD🧵: 1,000 word piece by newly-elected Momentum co-chairs. Not one mention of words Tory, Conservative, Government or Boris Johnson, no criticism of Tory councils but a targeted attack on Labour councils & Keir Starmer. SLOW.HAND.CLAP. Doing the Tories' dirty work for them. A decade of devastating Tory austerity was created in Tory-led Whitehall not Labour-led Town Halls. 60p in every pound stripped from local government was masterminded by Tory Prime Ministers in Downing Street and facilitated by the Lib Dems between 2010 & 2015.

THREAD: Councils & our staff are the UK's 4th emergency service fighting #COVID19. Govt told us to spend what it takes to help beat the virus & they'd reimburse us. Recent ministerial rhetoric suggests a backtrack on this promise. This would be unforgivable. Letter to PM below.⬇️ ImageImageImage #COVID19 crisis has already cost @GedlingBC over £960k in one month alone - £128k additional expenditure & £832k in loss of income, equivalent to 8.2% of our net revenue budget for this year. Loss of income figure is likely to be repeated each month for the foreseeable future.
