Councils run by Tories and Lib Dems lose funding.

Councils run by Tories and Lib Dems lose funding.

Graphic: BriefTea

Windsor and Maidenhead, run by the Lib Dems, faces the deepest cut, with its budget falling 86% from £36.2m to £4.9m. Kemi Badenoch claims ministers are allocating funds away from areas that do not support Labour and redirecting them to those that do. Angela Rayner's communities department maintains that the alterations redistribute funding towards more deprived areas, ensuring it is "truly based on need".
