Given the #Tories are not going to stop #localgovernment collapsing into financial chaos, the Q. is what (if anything) do they expect to take its place?
Its unclear (to me at least) whether they think a mosaic of #freeports & enterprise zones can replace local governance, or whether they are just wrecking because they can, or whether its merely more centralising zeal, gathering power & resources in #London?
However whatever it is, the vulnerable & poor are its victims!
