"I stand here also as a black man... whose ancestors rose up and fought in a great rebellion of the enslaved. Imperialism. I know it when I see it." @DavidLammy accuses Russia of being a mafia state in unbelievable speech at the UN.

There is a bit of me quoted in this... but more importantly @patrickjbutler smart reflection on the grim state of Local Authority Finance. Local Leaders and Officers have some of the toughest roles imaginable at present. theguardian.com/uk-news/2024…
