Reform UK's Deputy Leader, Richard Tice, announced plans to employ a 'SAS-style approach' to audit councils grappling with financial instability. Tice emphasized the need to analyze expenditures meticulously to identify mismanagement. Nigel Farage, the party leader, echoed this sentiment, committing to introducing auditors into these councils. Tice acknowledged the complexities of governance but promised transparency and progress in addressing both local financial challenges and broader national issues like immigration and cost of living crises that citizens face. Their approach aims to revitalize local governance and restore fiscal responsibility.
We've got dozens of councils up and down the country teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. So what I'm saying is, we need to adopt a SAS-style approach to this.
When we dig into the books, we'll find out where all the money's gone. But let's be absolutely clear county councils deal with important local issues, but we're also hearing massive concern about the national issues.
