Nicola asked the Prime Minister a question in today's PMQs session in Parliament
Following the news that Birmingham City Council had declared effective bankruptcy, putting public services at risk for local residents living near the Birmingham border as well as Birmingham City residents, Nicola asked the Prime Minister about the catalogue of Labour Party failures in our region.
You can watch the full question on Nicola's Facebook page, or read below her question and the Prime Minister's answer.
Nicola: "Against a backdrop of improving economic news, inflation falling, energy bills coming down and growth up, people in the west midlands are disappointed to see that Labour-run Birmingham City Council has gone bankrupt.
"As a Sandwell resident and a West Bromwich MP, I am no stranger to Labour incompetence.
"Does the Prime Minister agree that Labour have demonstrated yet again that they always run out of other people’s money?"
The Prime Minister: "My hon. Friend is exactly right. We started by hearing how Labour in London are charging hard-working people with ULEZ, and now we are hearing about how Labour in Birmingham are failing hard-working people, losing control of taxpayers’ money and driving their finances into the ground.
"They have bankrupted Birmingham; we cannot let them bankrupt Britain."
