Birmingham bankrupt

Ah re read it he was making two different points in the same paragraph. One of which is unrelated to the finances of the city council.

What would have been relevant is, I would expect, they lost some EU funding however (that should have been replaced with that domestic fund but that all went a bit quiet after a bit of a fan fare… possible due to covid) and if they decided to keep funding that directly it would have had a significant negative impact.

The EU funding based on regenerating deprived areas has disappeared, replaced by "beauty contests" between councils bidding for less money, where the deprived areas can't afford the costs of making speculative bids to a government that spreads its favours to marginals, and minsters' seats.

We've got Sunak explaining to Tunbridge Wells Tories how he'd reverse Labour's schemes to help deprived areas rather than places lie Tunbridge Wells, but that's what they're doing with what used to go to the EU and back via the EU Development Fund money.

But mid-Wales still voted for Brexit, despite being told. https://www.gov.wales/docs/wefo/publications/160513-authority-en.pdf

Don’t think that’s had any meaningful impact. Nor has Brexit more generally. Think it’s this equality payout and the other factors I previously alluded to.
