In a question about sprinklers being urgently needed in tower blocks after the Grenfell Tower disaster, Prime Minister’s Questions today heard how the Prime Minister’s constituency has been protected from the austerity cuts that have ravaged other local authorities around the country.

“Not one penny to fit sprinklers to Birmingham’s 230 tower blocks from Government,” said Jack Dromey, MP for the Birmingham constituency of Erdington.

“Now the city suffering the biggest cuts in local government history is to suffer a further £100 million unfair funding cuts,” added the Labour MP.

 

“Yet Maidenhead is the constituency the least hard-hit of any in Britain.

“How can the Prime Minister begin to justify one law for her own constituency and another law for the great city of Birmingham?”

Theresa May look rattled and said that a new local government settlement is due before parliament.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
