Regards the NHS, 40 new hopsitals, massive cash injection and 6000 more GP's and 6000 nurses sounds good to me.

Regards council spending. I'm equally furious about this,
but dont believe its national governments fault in every instance. My Council ward is Labour and always has been. They have nearly £180 million their sitting on, £40 million of which is cash so available to spend / invest with today. Please let me know why there are cuts in council services when this labour council is cash rich, I really want to know.

Because any entity that used up all its cash reserves now would struggle to survive more than a few years.

I worked with a charity in Brum for a number of years and that accusation was always aimed at them but without cash reserves or access to them and being able to fund them, no business is viable.
