Original Note:
It is not only Labour-run councils that are in financial trouble. At least 26 councils in the most deprived areas of the UK are at risk of bankruptcy, some of them Tory-run. Examples are Thurrock (Tory-run) and Woking (Tory until the June 2023 elections). https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/aug/28/at-least-26-english-councils-at-risk-of-bankruptcy-in-next-two-years?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/dec/19/thurrock-latest-council-declare-effective-bankruptcy?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/jun/07/woking-council-declares-bankruptcy-with-12bn-deficit?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other
