This scandal is yet another reason why we need #2020PoliticsCharter Ministers cannot be trusted to fairly distribute resources, they are far too tribal and partisan. The £3.6bn struggling English towns fund 'not impartial', bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

We are so used to the antics of Spads and the partisan nature of appointments that no one stops to ask why we have this system- it has not been around that long, nor ever sanctioned by the electorate. The new #2020PoliticsCharter will propose a radical change!
