Summary
Podcast host Duncan Barkes is joined by the TPA's Callum McGoldrick and Shimeon Lee to go through this year's Town Hall Rich List. This infamous annual piece of research by the TPA reveals how much money council staff receive and the figures are eye-watering with a record 4,733 council bosses receiving more than £100k a year and 320 earning more than the Prime Minister. Warning: this episode may well increase your blood pressure as you hear about the vast sums that council bosses are coining in including those who ran councils that went bankrupt.
