The head of the Conservative councils’ innovation unit and leader of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham has launched a blistering attack on the competence of the Shadow Cabinet.
In a discussion on increasing efficiency through reforming local government, reported by Public Finance magazine, Stephen Greenhalgh said:
“My mates are all in the shadow Cabinet, waiting to get those [ministerial] boxes, being terribly excited. I went to university with them, they haven’t run a piss-up in a brewery”
“They’re going to get a department of state, in one case running the finances of the nation.”
Earlier this year Mr Greenhalgh was in the news for his secret plans to demolish 3,500 homes in his borough.

what had the incoming labour government ever run when they came to power in 1997?
Remind me how many of them had ministerial experience compared to the tory shad cab of now?
