Another political Titan, with a Cabinet post in Nottinghamshire. Struggling with what ought to be a bread and butter issue right up Reform's street- investment in a prominent road.

Usual high standard of local paper comments about how unfair this all is, because no newly elected politician would know. He's been there the best part of 8 weeks. And it's the sort of issue you'd prep on just if you were a candidate, you'd think. Has he done any work on it with Central Government or the Combined Authority? When the County Council can't be arsed, money has a habit of going elsewhere. I've got a Tory-led council in my county. I am considerably more confident that this sort of work will get done here than I am about Reform-led Worcestershire next door.
