New Labour government - legislative agenda

[Crispy]

It's all Titanic deckchairs without accompanying tax reform. Big unitary councils should be able to raise and keep their own taxes, so that all the incentives align for investment in infrastructure, facilities, services etc. Break the treasury's chains somehow.

I hear tell that there are residents of East Grinstead who remain adamant that the town is in East Sussex, despite it having been in West Sussex for 50 years, and hate the fact that they can no longer get a train to their (former) county town (line closed in the late 1950s).

They're the local government equivalent of those soldiers still hiding in the jungle decades after the war ended.
