Pickles laid bare care of Christopher Sharrock: http://sharrock.wordpress.com/
Surprise surprise, it turns out that it’s Labour run councils in the north that will bear the brunt of Pickles’ swinging cuts to local government. Some 20 of the 30 hardest-hit councils are run by Labour, and two more by Labour in coalition. By contrast, 28 of the 30 councils that will see the smallest cuts are Conservative-led – and some of those will actually be better off.
What really stinks is that you can sense The Pickled Egg relishing every moment.
