“Manchester Labour picking the pocket of hard-pressed Council Tax Payers”

Manchester Labour Councillors today, by rejecting £1.5million of Government subsidy to freeze the Council tax, and increasing the Council tax by an inflation busting 3.7%, have made the choice to pick the pockets of the hard pressed Manchester Council Taxpayers rather than accept cash from Government says south Manchester MP John Leech.

Why the hell would they refuse the subsidy ?

I honestly don't get it ?

Do Labour want people worse off! :mad:
