He’s half right. Consultants are bleeding councils up and down the country dry for top dollar and adding little to no value. Bristol Council (Labour run) is spending £15m on consultations for an underground that the West of England Combined Authority Mayor (also Labour) says can fuck right off and will never get green lit.
So he’s half right on that point. Councils, in a cost of living crisis can’t be spaffing away money like it isn’t there. But he’s wrong on the diversity part.
