Badenoch explores legal challenge to government's £84m funding cut.
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has engaged legal counsel to explore a challenge to government cuts, following Wandsworth Council's announcement of an almost twofold increase in council tax. She called the proposed 94% hike "outrageous" but said the Tory-run council was forced into it by an £84m-a-year funding cut. The government says it needs to reform an outdated funding system.
