"Mismanagement!" Jeremy Kyle SLAMS Birmingham City Council After Effective Bankruptcy
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 бер 2024
- TalkToday discusses Birmingham City Council requesting a £1.25 billion bailout from the Government as it bids to recover from declaring effective bankruptcy, documents show.
Budget papers published overnight also confirm the council is planning to raise council tax by 9.99% this year and next, cut the cost of services by £367 million and initiate redundancies costing £100 million.
The huge “exceptional financial support” is considered crucial given the scale of the council’s financial distress, but commissioners led by Max Caller warned the money “is really nothing more than a loan from the government that must be paid back through asset sales”.
The report says the support will cover equal pay liabilities over the previous three years estimated at £815 million and should enable the council to set a balanced budget up to 2025/26.
Jeremy says "How in the name of the lord do they owe £3 Billion ?"

If this was a commercial business the people responsible would be fired. Its not like they’ve lost £100! Loosing £3 billion of public money is criminal!
This is what I always say, compare the public to private sector and there's just no excuse.
Remember, councils are warehousing for middle class kids with mediocre degrees. No one aspires to work for local government and it shows.
They give it away like water.
"Loosing" 🤣
They haven't lost it. It's debt. Almost all commercial businesses have debt. But unlike a commercial business, councils are constrained by legislation in how they can deal with that debt.
You are comparing apples to a painting of oranges.
Start by removing council tax breaks for multitude of mosques ect
Agree entirely, but I think you mean 'etc' short for 'et cetera '
Not just squandering the money, but in all probability, embezzlement.
Sent abroad, to certain countries that they are related to.
Your evidence for this?
@@edmundblackaddercoc8522 top class casual racisming.
Councils are well known for inventing many layers of management. Council officers who manage their budgets so badly should be sacked for gross misconduct of what is Public Funds. They should not receive a pension.
That's everywhere , a job for the boys.
I'd be interested to know how much of the council's budget is spent on funding pensions for ex council employees.
Its called corruption
Birmingham city council or this government .
They voted for this and that's what they got
😂😂
@@chrisstones1249 BOTH !!!!!!!!!
Richard Vobes has an interesting vid on Council tax fraud.
The squandering Birmingham Council will always find ways to waste money. Like changing street sign names in the name of diversity.
It is a Labour council, what more do you need to know!
How much does it cost to change the name of a Street?
@@alim3611Oh, I don't know. Endless expert consultations with high-priced civil rights leaders to minimize potential cultural negative impact of new signs upon affected communities, hundreds of graphic designers hired to craft the least offensive to recent immigrants lettering font, chemical engineers to create a one-of-a kind environmentally safe and sustainable paint, a worldwide search for the most carbon neutral biodegradable metal for the sign itself, conferences in far off foreign countries to organize labor reprentatives from ever racial group in the labor force, and ...
It must be millions as it is not just the chaning names, but updating documentation e.g deeds, planning permissions, Pplication websites, council documentation + then people need to update their permits and so on. Massive amount of admin overhead
All the councils are same that are run by the Lib/Lab coalitions. No one is accountable or responsible. Only when we make them personally responsible for the decisions they make, will sort things out.
Will any of the inept overpaid councillors loose their jobs?
Are they paid?
No. There will be a ton load of promotions.
Mr Nationalists, I am here to stay with my family.
Councillors are voted in, not employed. I suspect the people Birmingham will continue voting Labour as they have always done.

Half of bham is on dole
Councils are being told to trim there budgets because the government haven’t got the money to bail them out, yet we can afford to pay billions and billions of pounds every year to house, feed, clothe and give pocket money to people from far away lands that don’t speak our language or respect our laws and culture and will never have to work another day in there lives. 😡

its was easy spending other peoples money
Unfortunately that's the socialist way
Follow the money and see who has a 50k car parked in their yard.
They’ve all had their fingers in the till. It’s been the same for years.
The Labour Party
Birmingham City Council is comprised of 101 councillors. The Labour Party currently has the majority of councillors and runs the council.
Or it's the Tory government that for the last decade and a half has controlled the budgets of councils
Still sunaks fault mate. Sunak was cause of brexit and Ukraine war - said a labour voter.
@@sassythesasquatch4425 Right. As a point. I'm pointing out that Labour are just as fucking useless and the Tories... they're all the same. Who to vote for this next election fuck knows... 🫣 Might just spoil my ballot...
@@sassythesasquatch4425And to think people of the level of intelligence are walking amongst us.
Must be something to do with 'asylum seekers' ............ costing too much to keep🤬
Welcome to the Labour Party. A brief insight for what’s to come after the next general election. Everyone has conveniently forgotten what a financial shambles the country was in the last time a Labour government was in power. Maybe this will serve as a timely reminder.
The mismanagement is a crime. We should Not have to pay for their actions.
The locals here always vote for the same party. The fact it is Labour is less important then the fact it is a one party city.
The Muslim population follow their cultural leaders to the ballot box.
Majority of cult followers never go to vote they use the postal vote system easier to fiddle and get required result
Sectarian Politics - it's the way forward (plus Postal Ballots - if you get my drift)
Ban postal votes should have photo id .
100% agree......and then there'd be an issue about 'forcing' Muslim women to remove their niqabs to prove who they are !!! Well,thats' Democracy Islam !!!!@@Isherwoodsounds
No doubt they can find money for stupid things to virtue signal.
Maybe if these councils didn't give millions out to taxi firms to ferry kids to and from school , when millions isn't needed for that job
This council needs looking into because they're certainly not spending the money on what they're supposed to be spending it on.
guess who the taxi drivers and owners are ...clue its a certain demographic
So they people who failed to manage the budget. Will still be running the budget when it's increased 😢.
Question 1: what was done when the council squandered the first billion.
Question 2: what was done when the squandering increased to 2 billion.
Questions 3: exactly who allows councils to do this? There has to be accountability. In the case of Birmingham council, the locals know exactly how the money was spent. Political correctness won't allow anyone to object. The fraud squad will have their work cut out.
Thats what you get when labour are in charge
A foretaste of Labour in control at Westminster.
Look into their Bank account, see were some money has gone and put the guilty in jail.
Time for a change in the law? Council corruption and waste should not be paid for in council tax increases.
The reason in Birmingham the council are going broke, is because Islam areas no one is paying any council house rent or council tax, and spending to much on Mosques.
Tf you on about you xenophobe.
Spot on
Spot on mate. The pedo-prayers don't pay CT because they have a pray room 😂
@@Anonymous-411 I am glade i don' t come from Birmingham, i would protest about these council tax rises, on working people.
@@lenharris6095 you think protesting works? Lol
That also applies to Westminster if politicians miss manage taxpayers money why should government put pressure on taxpayers to pay more.
Put pressure on the government who made these bad decisions it wasn't the public who signed any forms or wasted the money.
Weak Britain 😂
Their gold plated pensions and white elephant projects that are never checked. If the councilors have it registered as a PLC they should be personally responsible
Same in Wigan they’ve just announced massive rises in rent and council tax it’s a disgrace they should all be held accountable
The people that run the council should be held accountable, from the directors, senior management and the councillors as it is down to them that the council is in this mess. So they all need to be sacked and prosecuted.
Wages at the council should be cut first, ie directors, senior management by at least 50%. Plus all bonuses cancelled. Before the council should be allowed to put up council tax.
It shouldn’t be down to the taxpayers to cover the debt or be forced to pay more for basic services that should be provided.
The council should be forced to work their way out of the debt they built up. So no pay rises, no members of the council to earn more than £75k including directors and senior management, consultants etc…
Well said everyone should sent this to there mps and those in charge we want answers.
There was a time when councillors gave their time Pro Bono. Now their expenses for a part time talk fest are more than many workers get to live on.
@@onlyme972 councillors should only get expense for travel to and from council meetings or if they have to goto a council office for any reason. This should be a fuel allowance of say 75. Per mile or the cost for them to use public transport ie bus or tube train. An maybe a small amount for printing out letters and posting them.
The law states councillors are entitled to receive financial compensation called an allowance and expenses, this is only to cover the cost of travel to and from meetings, and recognises the time devoted to council business on behalf of local people. Which should be at the minimum wage per hour.
Councillors should have to prove evidence of the time they spent dealing with council business on behalf of the local people or this time should be limited to a set number of hours per week.
Completely agree
I come under Birmingham for our taxes/services. I as well as many, am absolutely disgusted with their incompetence. Why do we have to pay out of our pockets for what they’ve done wrong.
You'd think someone might have noticed the problem a while back - before it got so bad.
They probably had a committee meeting which decided to investigate it.
I noticed. Got called racist while they paid for mosques to be built.
When a business goes bankrupt the company loses, when a council goes bankrupt the locals lose
why are the not held accountable
Well said
Socialism , spending other people's money until it runs out then crying please help us, and blame someone else!!!
I bet they all still vote for Labour in May.
Sadly you are correct
Bent as a 9 Bob note . 10 Bob (shillings) is the genuine article
The council directors, management and some other staff are paid to much. That's one reason why they are in debt.
Il tell you how, funding mosques & the taxi scam.... There is a taxi company owner in Birmingham that must be very wealthy off the back of it.... & I bet if it was investigated the owner would someway be intwinned with someone at the council
I lived in a fantastically well run town that was moved into Greater Manchester it’s now in a conglomerate of towns without any real democracy. For instance some time ago there were complaints about how run down the town was becoming as its architecture was demolished and replaced by modern boring cold block structures the same as every other town. The problem was not one elected councillor in my town was on the planning committee so no one could be held responsible at any election. Then of course Greater Manchester became a huge expensive to run out of touch bureaucracy. Having said that massive Birmingham has failed spectacularly and maybe should be broken up into smaller easier to manage constituent parts.
It is split into quads, with their own "management" and budgets. I worked for Birmingham 20 years ago and the amount that was wasted on things like social care and health training which was out sourced for example was horrendous, a £3m budget where no one or only 2-3 bothered turning up but the trainers still had to paid even if the course wasn't viable to run. New offices where all the office furniture (as new) which was in place was simply thrown in the skip and more new bought. Coming from the private sector at the time I was appalled, but soon understood how it worked and how to use it for my advantage. Send an email telling XX that i was going to do YYY by the end of the following week unless they had any objections. I never got any, they liked someone else making a decisions for them and I covered my back if it went wrong as they had had the opportunity
Same where I live years ago it was merged into 2 larger towns and has since been run down
"Please sir, can I have some more?" Typical Labour, like Khan and will then still blame Westminster.
Someone from government should be checking the books and if wrongdoing is found the perpetrators should go to jail..
I advocate not giving them a penny more until the entire top tier of managenent are fired.
We need accountability and ability.
This must be transparent for all to see.
Housing all these migrants is the largest percentage of this big balls up!!!! Yet no one address's the elepahant in the room!!!!!!!!!!
It’s very understandable - corruption , greed , and LABOUR , same thing
One question,HOW MANY COUNCILLORS DON.T PAY COUNCIL TAX??
Well it’s Labour, I assume most are exempt
Check out their DEI budget 😮
Have you seen the calibre of the members of the council? I wouldn’t let them run the school tuck shop.
They’ve squandered money, mismanaged money and given lucrative contracts to family and friends.
Thank god I moved away from that dump years ago, very sad as it was a great place to live in the sixties and seventies.
If we stopped paying £8million a day,to the freeloading scroungers we would,nt have this problem!!!
Yes we would.
it's 3 billion not 30 million.
And this is just a Labour run Council now imagine what a Labour run Country will be like
Paying for their illegal
Mates
Shocking. well what you expect from a labour run council
It’s not just Labour, there are currently over 40 councils that are in trouble and have shortfalls serious enough that they have asked for government help….and that includes Tory councils. At the same time there are many Labour councils that are well run. Birmingham has been run by incompetent people for years….this didn’t happen overnight.
Although it’s not perfect, one of the most successful, and fastest growing cities in Europe Manchester, has been run by Labour for decades , so your argument has no validity…….cuts not withstanding, this has more to do with the people who are in the key positions and their inability to do the job.
You could see the council were getting desperate when they introduced bus lanes and clean air charging schemes to raise money. Where else have I seen that stunt being pulled I wonder?
Its not only 'grim oop north' ,its grim in the Midlands .
All to do with cbdc ,wef
One of the major reasons is the historic 'unfair pay' for women (mainly cleaner and catering staff) from 10,20,30 years ago that has cost them £750m. Thats, and a £6m per year Taxi Contract....that always went to the same company - one owned by some Pakistanis (i checked at Companies House) , and no-doubt handed to them by their cousins at the Council.
These councils are squirting money away for fun. They have no idea how to budget, spend money on ridiculous projects that have absolutely no public value, using public money as if it were confetti. The officers who signed the documents for all of this money to be spent without any value at all should be named.
Someone got rich out of this. Look at those who could have had their hands on any money, look at their lifestyles and spending.
Didn't i hear that the council were paying a local taxi firm hundreds of pounds each day to transport a disabled pupil just a few hundred yards to his school? Apparently the annual council spending on local taxi firms is quite phenomenal. I believe there was a suspicion that certain firms were favoured ...
guess who ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Of course they were
Bins not collected, Streets and Council Buildings in total disrepair, rubbish and grime everywhere, basic facilities crumbling.....but hey...if you want to see a Diversity Officer, get endless Pamphlets about Diversity, proudly exhibit a diverse Council Workforce with few white English then Birmingham is top of the list. Everyone can be equally depressed and skint, homeless, ill and waiting for treatment in the happy knowledge that there is racial harmony. Well at least the diversity figures show harmony anyway !
Its because for some daft reason the public pay for council workers golden pensions..People are living longer so ex council workers pensions need to be paid..
😡😡😡THEY HAVE JUST BEEN LOOKING AFTER THEIR PENSIONERS. ITS THE POOR HOMEOWNERS AGAIN WHO HAVE TO PAY.WHO ALREADY ARE STRUGGLING. 😡😡😡😡😡
Council tax should be spent on the basics and not pet projects
We as Council Tax payers are effectively shareholders in any council. In any normal business if the losses are like this, criminal charges would be investigated. Why is no one being held accountable. Do we have fuckin stupid people at the wheel?
All of these councils should have their accounts audited just to see where the cash has gone.
Council tax and Rent rises where's the money gone jeez
Firstly its labour.
Turned over by their unions equal pay claim ...
They should undergo a Criminal Audit. To see how and why it happened. And whether there was corruption (ie) Council contracts for friends and families.
Where has the money gone and who has it now??????
You are right fir a particular group of people who run the council, corruption they brought from their home country of origin, is operating over there😮
Labour council by any chance?
Have another think jezza... Just check their spending and on what
You want to know how Birmingham council can go bust, the answer is, it’s a Labour run council, they couldn’t run a piss up in a brewery. Now the people of Birmingham have got to pay for the council’s miss management. Council service’s have got to be cut, job’s have got to axed to pay the money back. But never mind the government can still send millions on foreign aid, give millions to Ukraine and spend millions on the illegal immigrants invading the South coast instead of wiping Birmingham Cities arrears off
Check the councillors pockets
We’re has all this money gone
Spending other people’s money they think it’s a bottomless pit
One word: foreigners
Hands in the till comes to mind!
Immigrants Immigrants Immigrants.
Is this a Labour or Conservative council? Remember this at the next General election. Disgraceful 😈😈
At least they are a city,, here in little Woking in Surrey our wonderful council is 2 “Billion “ pound in debt !!
You missed asking the obvious and most important question. Regardless of the reasons for the debt, the 20% rise in council tax should legally have been put to a local referendum. Why did this not happen?
2014 I drove through Birmingham in a truck. My first thought was "how do they pay for this huge mess?".
Bet not one of them ever missed an expenses claim?
Voting for clowns gets you a circus. 😂
it's simple corruption to many hands in the pot
Devolvement might Not be the answer …. Take Birmingham for example, council taxes are due to increase by 21% over the next two years. Those that can, will simply move away rather than try and pay off the council debts that they didn’t incur. The rates will deter others from moving to the area and house prices will fall. Who then will fill the houses and pay off the council debts? They will be forced to reduce the rates and extend the repayment period. It’s a spiral that could greatly affect people who have invested a lifetime in paying for their homes .. what will they be worth in the future? All because a sub standard manager in the local council office didn’t properly do his job .. where is the accountability when he simply leave the area and goes on to his next job? Central government should be monitoring the council finances and bringing the information to the public in a timely manner, there should be public accountability.
Where did the money go ....? An arrest should be made ASAP. Those responsible should face the full force of the law, penalties and even imprisonment for their actions 🙄
24 years since I started at the back council. 11 years since I left and it's in that timetable top heavy. Offices full of bosses, assistants, assistant assistants. Not one of them qualified to sweep the paths let alone run an office. I visited my parents Ash plot at yardley cemetery last October (I live in Finland now) and its an utter disgrace. Dead and rotting flowers, grass a mess, paths covered in crap and no visible staff apart from a couple of I can only describe as agency guys blowing leaves off an area that was a mess. If they tread their dead like this what chance have the living got.
Do not vote for labour in Birmingham
Where's the auditing? Wheres the investigation? Wheres the accountability? Where are the arrests?
The chief exec and senior leaders of the council should all be sacked. Ridoculous
Will they all be sacked and forbidden from holding public office for at least 7 years? Happens if we go under.
We pay council tax in Birmingham for them to waste the money on ostentatious construction projects in the city centre like the central library meanwhile local libraries that local people can walk to in their own areas are being closed. It's a total abuse our money.
Perhaps they should blame themselves was cycle Lanes the cause of the loss something no one wanted something that is not used
So many Chiefs and not enough Indians.
London will be next
I bet Birmingham City council hasn't stopped spending on LGBT+ activism, or taken the opportunity to make redundant the diversity inclusion staff that they should never have hired in the first place. But this is a long going dispute where unions representing school dinner ladies / care workers made out that their skill set equated to Electricians, heating engineers and engineers in general. so the opportunity to sack everyone and employ contractors, but by law from now on I want to see 50% mandated female refuse collectors, preferably by redeploying female management staff.
When’s the Council redundancies gonna start !! It’s their mess up.
Is it legal to charge the public more it needs to be challenged in court !!!!!
All Labour councils going bust….a taste of the future of the U.K. under Labour…
I suppose you will find in Pakistan
What i don't understand is how a bankrupt company can demand any kind of payment. The councils are on companies house as a company. So if any money is to be paid surely it's paid to the receivers who take control of the company. I'd look for fraud from the councillors. This person got a contract and someone else gets one. But nobody's mentioned the council members are either family of the amazingly lucky companies that get massive contracts. Or have been offered a job or even a brown envelope full of money. Bent as a ten bob note.
