Hello all and welcome to our Monday briefing. We’re keeping everything crossed for a bit of rain this week.
Last week we spotted a little dataset slipped out by Leeds city council, with the full details of all the international travel their officers have been getting up to. It’s a swanky list including Tokyo, Cannes and Versailles, so we ask the question: should we all be feeling outraged about this use of taxpayer cash?
As well as that we’ve got one of the most important jobs right now (fire minister) going to a well known Loiner, a financially stretched local authority that’s actually sitting on £14m, and sad news on the all-but-certain failure of the white rose emoji campaign.
