Badenough appears to have no idea what services Somerset Council are responsible for. She appears to view it as some sort of Parish Council - until 2 years ago, it was called a County Council.
Their projected budget for 2026/7 is just short of £700 million. They are directly responsible for Adult Services, including support for the elderly; Children's Social Care and Education; most non-trunk roads; planning applications; collecting Council Tax; running Local and National elections and a great deal else…….including, but not limited to, bins and parking. They also have involvement in the running of the NHS and of the Police Authority. During Covid, they co-ordinated response services.
I was trying to keep it short, rather than list all the things she has shown she has no idea about!
I am startled that any “mainstream” politician would dismiss Local Government as “bins and parking”, but even if it was, think it was suitable to have a Nazi involved with.
I realise I left Housing out of the responsibilities.

To be fair, it's one of many things she has no idea about

She was, for almost a year, Minister of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government!
Looking back in general though her whole parliamentary career seems to be littered with faux pas and sheer ignorance.
So ‘Crewkerne Man’ sounds like a Neanderthal?
