Radical council funding shake-up

[stockhausen]

How does that hurt the poor?

How about:

. . . ministers say there would still be "an element of redistribution between wealthier and poorer councils".

Perhaps if you could leave the mule alone for a few moments and engage what purports to be your brain you would be able to work this sort of thing out for yourself

That wealth redistribution will still happen. Surely it is wrong for a council to rely on handouts?
