With a 6.1% increase in their national funding for the IW Council next year - 2% above the average for similar Councils, which will help the Council Tories to keep Council Tax increases down to inflation levels - our Labour government is looking after Islanders, particularly those on pensions and fixed incomes.
Of course the MP and his Council henchmen are claiming all the credit. With no Tory government in prospect they have little alternative.

I'm sure the Leader of the Council will claim that the generous settlement comes because the Government are so impressed by him.For a Tory he seems awfully pleased with himself when he claims that he hob-nobs with Government Ministers -even when the claims aren't true and they have never heard of him, let alone met him!
He does it because he realises that the Cameron bubble is already burst and that he will have to plead with Britain's only real choice of government - Labour - for a few more years at least.
