It’s despicable how Labour treat their voters when they have no opposition. From Sky News, last week:
Hundreds of people are facing imminent homelessness after their Merseyside flat blocks were condemned by the fire service as being unsafe.
Residents of Beech Rise and Willow Rise in Kirkby, Merseyside – consisting of 160 flats in total – have been told they need to find somewhere else to live “immediately”.
Sky News understands a meeting took place this morning involving the government to discuss the situation, although one source described the circumstances as a “waiting game” to see what other parties do next.
Due to the worsening condition of the buildings, Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service told building managers a round-the-clock “waking watch” – a fire safety system where trained personnel continuously patrol a building – was required as a safety measure.”
Anneliese Midgley, the MP for Knowsley, says she is working with the council and government to support the impacted families.
She said the situation is “nothing short of a scandal”.
Scandal? This council has been under Labour majority control since its creation in 1974!
