Description

Mark Phillips interviews BBC reporter John Ware on a second BBC Panorama programme, to be screened this evening, which will expose further allegations of corruption and gerrymandering against Westminster City Council under former leader Dame Shirley Porter. He speaks about the council’s rigging of housing services in key marginal wards in favour of those likely to vote Conservative in the 1990 local elections, and says the surcharge bill could be £35 million.
