A lot of waffle from Labour who then proceeded to vote for the budget. They really had no choice as they failed to propose a comprehensive alternative. A single amendment is not an alternative budget. Reform's councillor failed to provide an input to the most important council meeting of the year, which shows he is out of his depth
