Spend on Union flags defended
Reform UK-led Nottinghamshire
County Council has defended plans to spend £75,000 on purchasing Union flags.
More than 150 flags in 82 locations will be displayed.
But opposition politicians questioned if the expenditure was a good use of public money.
Sam Smith, Conservative leader of the opposition, said:
"To spend £75,000 of taxpayers' money on flags seems a bit ridiculous."
Labour MP for Mansfield, Steve Yemm, said: "My constituents will be appalled."

Doge' unit fails to carry out audits
Reform UK's so-called "Doge" unit has carried out no audit work in the councils it won control of nearly six months ago.
The party vowed swingeing efficiency cuts to council budgets, in the mould of Elon Musk's US Department of Government Efficiency, after gaining control of nine local authorities across England in May.
Deputy party leader Richard Tice told the Financial Times it was never the "intention to audit them, because audits are expensive".
Hey… but come on… audits - where you find out what your budgets are, what money is being spent and how much you have left - are expensive… and only something proper grownups do.
Reform just wants racist bunting and to hell with constituents and cost.

This week our fantastic supporters handed in a 20,000-strong petition to Ofwat.
Like us, they want Ofwat to reject Thames Water's outrageous proposal - to pollute illegally until 2040.

Yesterday Mark Carney was told, “Mr Carney, there’s a genocide in Palestine”.
“I’m aware,” Carney told the protester, “That’s why we have an arms embargo.”
This has really, really upset Benjamin Netanyahu, so don't RT unless you hate him.

Starmer and Reeves had enough time in 'opposition' to hit the ground running.
9 months of this is quite enough!

Israel has been on the path of fascism for some time now, why our governments in the west continue to support these genocidal psychopaths is the greatest question and disgusting shame. #GazaGenocide

The Prime Minister says Brits are compassionate and fair-minded - so why does he want to deprive desperate people of their rights in our name?

Just watched @labourlewis.bsky.social's powerful speech on his Water Bill, raising the fundamental question that’s been ignored for too long: who should own our water?
It’s time to bring water back into public hands.

After 40 years, privatisation of our public services has failed. It's time for public ownership. We use it, we pay for it, We Own It.
