More Local Government Cuts

It looks likely that local government is going to get another severe round of cuts by George Osborne.  I really don't know how already very hard hit Councils like Brent are going to cope.  The reports focus on the main 28% cut, but that is in addition to others such as the reduction in Council Tax Support and crisis payments.  Somehow local authorities will have to make the budgets add up, as the kind of denial practised by that mendacious clown Grant Shapps is not possible.
