Matthew agrees with the Socialist Party and the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC) that Labour councillors could defy Tory spending cuts, arguing: “it’s time that Labour councils resisted a reckless and failing economic policy by refusing to implement cuts devolved to them from central government”.
