David Amess, Southend West MP, wrote to a supporter to encourage him/her to support local Tory candidate in upcoming election because it would ensure preferential government funding for the council.
Over the last 10 years, it's been blatantly obvious to anybody who has looked at the figures that local government funding has favoured Tory constituencies.
Reducing funding to Labour councils has been a clever move by the Conservative central government because the councils have been blamed for cuts to local services.

Where there's poverty there's a Labour council. It's never been any different.
Frank Field fought for years in his constituency at Birkenhead, in fact a lifetime but nothing changed. There was/is still abject poverty, unemployment and a rise in crime- Liverpool's the same.
