Worsley and Eccles South MP Barbara Keeley has hit out at the government over its use of ‘regressive’ taxation to fund adult social care.
Speaking in the Commons on Monday, Ms Keeley criticised the local government finance settlement which determines the ‘spending power’ of councils for the 2022/23 financial year.
She noted this did not reverse the ‘decade of cuts’ which has seen Salford council stripped of 53pc of its budget since 2010/11.
Nor, she claimed, did it do enough to meet the £7.6m cost of national insurance contributions, national minimum wage and inflation.
