Andy Burnham wants to rig the electoral system so that it's harder for us to hold politicians accountable.
How can anybody look at this Government and think that what we need is less accountability?
We will fight this every step of the way.

Residents want their councils focused on delivering decent local services and keeping council tax low.
This sort of nonsense does nothing to improve people’s lives.
The pronouns “he” and “she” are non-inclusive and make people uncomfortable, a council has said.
Spelthorne borough council, in Surrey, has updated its inclusive language and communication guide to advise against using them. The council, run by a Liberal Democrat coalition, has instead asked staff to use them/they.

This is Lord Fuller speaking in the House of Lords on the debate about VAT on independent school fees. He talks of the unseen damage done to the staff, to the towns where these schools support the local economy and to the national economy itself.

Well done @KemiBadenoch - inner London should not be decimated to pay for profligate Labour councils misadventures.
This is not just a Red vs Blue issue - LBHF and Richmond are all being smashed as well.
It’s a government of chaos.
LGA Conservatives retweeted
Also anti growth removing the incentive of business rates retention from Councils who took difficult decisions to support employment like Central Bedfordshire while giving more money to those like Luton. Burnham needs to support rhetoric with action and reinstate retention.

Conservatives 'instruct lawyers’ to challenge cuts to Tory-run London council

LGA Conservatives retweeted
The Labour government cut Wandsworth Council’s budget by 40%.
It speaks volumes that Andy Burnham is happy to slash the funding for Conservative-run councils, but won’t touch the bloated welfare bill.
LGA Conservatives retweeted
Labour are punishing low-tax councils with massive funding cuts.
So if you've voted for low taxes, Burnham and Rayner will force your council to put taxes up anyway.
For all his talk about local democracy, Burnham only cares about your vote if you vote for higher taxes.
“I think it is outrageous..."
Kemi Badenoch says the Conservative Party has "instructed lawyers" to explore if an £84m-a-year government funding cut, which Wandsworth Council has blamed for a potential 94% increase in council tax, can be blocked.

🗣️A brave testimonial from our very own Cllr Heather Williams @Cllr_H_Williams. Freedom of speech is the cornerstone of healthy debate. But threats of abuse, violence and intimidation have no place in our politics or local government 👇👇👇
