I’m not one of David Cameron’s biggest fans, but he has today reminded everyone in County Durham of just how badly run Durham County Council is. In his speech he has told everyone who didn’t already know that Labour is still paying the clothing allowance of £12860 to Labour councillors.

By way of a reminder David – it is the Lib Dem councillors in County Durham who unearthed this and other waste, but I do agree with the Prime Minister that Labour contributed significantly to the debt we are in nationally and that this kind of Labour waste is totally unacceptable which is why we have been campaigning to stop it for so long.
