I made some Energy Efficiency Rating stickers for digital advertising spaces to let the public know just how much electricity these things burn through per year.

You can get four stickers for £1 from my shop:

In Manchester City Council, Labour councillors have all the top jobs and power.

They commission a review to the allowances system.

It results in massive cuts for guess who? The opposition.

The MEN's headline probably beats ours (Labour cuts vs Leaders clash)

Cutting pay for opposition work at Manchester City Council on the first big meeting after an election.

That's the way to kick off a new municipal year!!
