Episode 416: Council Votes Themselves A Raise
October 31, 2025 1:55 pmFriday Round Table!
Craig was joined at the Covent Garden Market studio by former city councillor Cheryl Miller, political insider Devin Munro and former Green Party candidate Carol Dyck.
They discuss councillors in London getting a raise – and severance pay. Clearly it won’t be popular politically, but was it needed?
Also, a look at the budget. Mayor Josh Morgan has tabled a buget with an expected 3.6% tax hike in 2026 and 4.7% in 2027.
Good number? Will people in London accept it? This this an “election budget”?
Then, the Ford government is, uh, speeding… to get rid of speed cameras. Are they right? Is the process here a red flag?
