The UK government has appointed commissioners to oversee Nottingham City Council following its declaration of effective bankruptcy, after the council issued a S114 notice last year, revealing a £23m budget gap. This situation in Nottingham is part of a wider narrative of financial challenges faced by councils across the country, with Harrow residents facing an 11% council tax increase amid deteriorating services. Additionally, the education sector is under significant pressure, with 70% of schools in England experiencing real-term funding cuts since 2010, leading to a teacher shortage and inadequate facilities. This has sparked calls for a general election and increased investment in public services.
✂️ After 14 years of chronic Government cuts, 70% of schools in England have less funding in real terms than in 2010. That's 13,144 schools. In Liverpool Riverside, 100% of schools have less funding in real terms than in 2010 due to Government cuts.

Most schools in England facing real-terms cuts since 2010 thanks to Tories, analysis shows https://t.co/xVFyMm4nJ7
Most schools in England facing real-terms cuts since 2010 thanks to Tories. Buildings crumbling, teacher shortage, special needs of children not met £12.2bn investment needed to reverse the cuts. But govt priority is tax cuts for the rich. https://t.co/WHajj8dBhF
The Conservatives have crashed the British economy and families in #Harrow are crying out for change. Labour has a plan to get Britain moving again and to create the good jobs and growth we need. It’s time for a #GeneralElectionNow https://t.co/Ed2W8MCIj4
Those kids in local authority care are gonna suffer through the worst cuts in the coming months with council budget problems across the country https://t.co/ZYMmzCgX33
Ontario schools can't recruit or retain enough teachers thanks to a “mess” created by the Ford government, Ontario’s four teachers’ unions charge. https://t.co/kG0NzhTPXY
🧑🏫 Two in five teachers in the UK work an additional 26 hours a week, unpaid. ❌ It is wholly unacceptable that teachers are losing out on average by £15,000 a year in unpaid overtime. 🗣️The Government needs to invest in our education system and stop relying on free labour.
Yet again, homeowners are facing another hike in mortgage rates. UK is in recession, food prices are rocketing, bills increasing, wages stagnating & mortgage rates rising & rising. We need a #GeneralElectionNow so @uklabour can sort out the mess Tories have made of the economy.
Tonight the Conservative led Council in Harrow will break an election promise and raise Council Tax for residents by 11% over the next 3 years. It’s sad to watch the Tories turn their back on working people yet again.
Whilst the Harrow Tories spend the evening at full council putting up our council tax amongst ever worsening council services, Harrow East Labour were out speaking to the good people of Edgware, who are ready for a Labour government that will get Britain’s future back🌹🇬🇧 https://t.co/fPiSdYGmVL
