- Birmingham City Council has declared itself in financial distress over multimillion-pound liabilities to settle equal pay claims.
In a statement on Tuesday, Europe’s largest local authority confirmed that it had issued the declaration that it cannot balance its books.
It said all new council spending in the city, with the exception of protecting vulnerable people and statutory services, must stop immediately.
TalkTV’s Kevin O’Sullivan says: “It’s very cowardly of the Labour administration and all of the councillors.”

Just a few years ago the sold the airport and nec arena for £800 million, weres that all gone , we need a audit and a criminal investigation 🙈
I'm guessing it's went to pay the first half of the equal pay , exact same thing happened in Glasgow sold off loads of buildings to pay the workers , still ongoing ...
This is a clear warning on what would happen if the labour party ever got into power
Labour .......no way they could make such a blunder !
The unions are the same
That would account for say £20/50 million at most , weres the rest gone , diversity pride , woke policies perhaps 🙈
Exactly 💯 💯 The council leader stood saying this a year ago! But as been paying women less, such equality from such lairs.
An accurate representation of what a labour government would produce for the United Kingdom.
Men and women were doing different work. You cannot equate refuse collectors out in all weather doing heavy work with office cleanerd. This was nonsense decades ago.
I know but since tesco said that people in the warehouses and checkout people should get payed the same.
Probs spent £20 million on pride and women’s month 😂😂🎉🎉
It's obvious people do not understand how this works, local politicains are very limited .They are part time though still paid and they often have no experience of running a large orgnaistion and they rely on senior officers to deal with the practicalities. What wil now happen is the officers who advised the councillors to do these things, will simply move sideways or even upwards to another authority or public body. I would sack them all and reverse their pensions.
Which begs the obvious question, why are we electing people into office who haven't a clue what they are doing, or perhaps worse not realising they are being lied to? If this happened in industry the country would be bankrupt wouldn't it? About time there were some minimum standards for MP's and Councillors in experience, not qualifications which cause the problems we have now. In addition if they had queries a 3rd party reference panel would at least prevent the most glaring mistakes. Why do we expect a butcher to also be an accountant?
Surprise surprise labour done effed up
No, they didn’t! Mostly men who were working dirty and dangerous jobs received a bonus. Mostly women were working non-dangerous & office jobs.
Apparently, working in an office is now “equivalent work” to someone fixing a sewer! 🤷🏻♂️
"mostly" Care to quote your sources (Trust me bro, is not a source). Clearly you havn't included care homes in your deeply researched statement. There are 9 care homes listed, thats a LOT of money in staff over many years, and thats just staff at the homes itself, not ancillery services. And thats just one thing the council are spending millions on. And thats mostly women. So kindly take your bigoted slur and try doing that job. And fuck yes, it can be dangerous.
@@Yorkshire_Farmer You have never done it, and dont know what it entails. In addition to care homes there are assisted living places, solo staff are out and about all hours. My mom did it for years, some of the places she had to go to alone at night? Piss off mr clueless.
So in the name of equal pay, it actually hurt the council and eventually the council need to lay off its workers. How does that benefits women now?
Which has, and always been true. Wage gap is a lie. Until Men find a way to not pay for women anymore. For equality.
I'm surprised Mackey didn't refer to the ' equal status ' arrangement agreed with the unions which I think is the main reason for the judgement and the massive debt.
It didn't just "happen", it's been like that for all women everywhere for centuries !!!
Easy solution, let's have WAGE TRANSPARENCY for ALL jobs !!!
Let's see the real situation and talk !!!
If you think the wages are low, then you should stop working. Wages are determined in the marketplace. You have the freedom to choose your occupation, don't you?
@@user-ey9ct3nk9u so I eat air??? I am an independent woman in a country with no family....EQUAL WAGES NOW FFS
@@fay5479 Unless the work is specialized, it stands to reason that wages would be different for clerical and physical labor, right?
@@fay5479 If clerical and manual labor were to be paid equally, who would do manual labor?
@@user-ey9ct3nk9u how ? I see lots of men in office jobs earning a lot more, physical labour is very poorly paid....
If we have general transparency, we can debate this...also, how else can you decide what promotions to go for if wages are unknown? Makes no sense...
If the government has to step in - it should sack the lot of them and claw back any and all bonuses they have recieved, since they are blatantly incompetant!!!
Seems this is not a new problem, but has been building up over numerous years!
Labour out,ulez mayor out vote with your feet
They talked about this yesterday its not the same job they said they compared jobs like dinner ladies and road sweepers saying road sweepers got more money because it was done by mostly men. They never say well if women want to sweep roads in all weathers they can do for extra money.
Incompetence with a capital C
I spent 5 years working at BCC in the 80's. It was a mess bavk then. The labour councillors were crooked and fiddled expenses, the trade unions did everything they could do to disrupt and cling to restrictive practices. Much of their management practices were Dickensian. I came in as a private sector accountant and systems analyst to implement a new finance system but it was like wafing through treacle. In the end i got out before my career was ruined.
Now i have friends who dtill work there. They are just waiting for retirement, early if they can get it. The place has got worse with all the woke diveristy nonsense and a muslim mafia amongst councillors and their, often related, coreligionists amongst the staff.
"Muslim Mafia " - you could be right there. Good luck to Gove in bringing that lot to heel.
Get the basic facts right, the unequal pay was pre Labour control.
Labour local govt vs Tory central government ALWAYS a disaster. And Birmingham is horrible imo since the 1980s
Ken Livingstone and the GLC relentlessly exploited women working for it....
They excepted the job, that's how.
this is why u dont want labor in control not that the the conservtives are any better
And they've been in power since 1983
So what's new ?
Drive down alum rock road in Birmingham you will see why the council is broke
What about thurrock council then .
Thurrock - different situation entirely.
les incompetents
Too right !
