Show Notes

If your town hall isn't already in trouble, it could be soon. Local authorities around the country are taking drastic action to balance the books, with many now paying the bills for failed business ventures too. Matt is joined by Tim Minogue, editor of Private Eye's Rotten Boroughs column, Kirsty Weakley from the Local Government Chronicle, and journalists covering some of the worst-affected areas.


Plus: Columnists Matthew Parris and Matthew Bell ask whether Labour really will get tough over ethics, whether Rishi Sunak is being written off too soon, and whether Keir Starmer needs a voice coach.
