Birmingham City Council has declared itself in financial distress over multimillion-pound liabilities to settle equal pay claims.
In a statement on Tuesday, Europe’s largest local authority confirmed that it had issued the declaration that it cannot balance its books.
It said all new council spending in the city, with the exception of protecting vulnerable people and statutory services, must stop immediately.
TalkTV’s Kevin O’Sullivan says: “It’s very cowardly of the Labour administration and all of the councillors.”
