PM challenged on West's councils facing bankruptcy

The prime minister has been pressed on BBC Radio Bristol on how he will stop councils in the West from going bankrupt.

Bristol City Council faces a blackhole of £51m and North Somerset Council has warned it could go bust unless it receives more money for children with special educational needs and disabilities.

The question was part of a series of BBC local radio presenters grilling Sir Keir Starmer around the country across Bristol, Merseyside, the West Midlands and more.
