Replying to

🧵 14/21 The City Hall of Stockholm boasts some magnificent interiors, through which the official guides will shepherd you while providing lots of information about the architecture and decoration of those spaces, the Nobel prize ceremonies that take place there, and the seating of the municipal government. I wish this official tour could be extended to take in the garden and the exterior of the building. The architecture of the building as a whole and the statuary on and around the hall deserve attention. The prominence of the City Hall reminded me of the importance of municipal and regional government in Sweden. What could Britain learn from this? #Sweden #Stockholm #Stadhuset #CityHall #LocalGovernment

So the highly contentious combining a local councils into larger authorities (including those here in NW Lancashire) has been put on hold while Angela Rayner seeks both legal advice & 'reviews' proposals (following on from a number of legal challenges & also political pressure). Across the country local Govt. will now remain in lmbo, not moving back to what it was (and currency is) nor forward to what it might (or now might not) become. #LocalGovernment #politics

Has anyone analyzed the Household Response electoral register “security” codes? Are they an encoding of names/addresses? Why are they in the same email as the link to fill it out if it’s for security? Don’t get me started on the domain name… #uk #government #ukpol #localgovernment
