This man agreed spending on the Council building of £111 million in one of the poorest areas in the country. Some of the lights cost £1800 each which I’m sure will be appreciated by the staff being handed their redundancy notices on their last days in work.

He reminds me of the very people Neil Kinnock says he disliked so much. Wouldn’t the £92million over budget on the lavish offices have been better spent on the poor?

Does “carol blackwell-price” above think spending decent people’s money on lavish goodies in the office like designer chairs and tables instead of caring for the elderly is appropriate?

For three Building 1000s you could get an Emirates Stadium “His spending on follies, foibles and self-promotion is unquestioned by compliant elected members.”

The sooner the Labour Party distances itself from these unpleasant types of disgraceful individuals – think Dolly Draper and co – the better. Giving blog space without thinking of how badly it will reflect on Labour devalues a great site.

Maybe Sir Robin should cut back on the £8 million plus annual spend on consultants, or do more to fill job vacancies rather than spending £23 million p.a. on agency staff.
