Labour run Wigan Council admits it has no idea were £96,000 has gone.

Poor Wigan Labour MP Lisa Nandy got her timing badly wrong this week and was left with a touch of egg on her face.

As shadow Cabinet Office minister she lambasted the Tories over its 'Big society' idea in Parliament. Lisa told the House of Commons: “We now know that the Government’s Big Society lies in tatters’ after the cabinet office announced it was trying to recoup £33,994 it had donated to a charity, see the full story in the independent here:

Bad timing for Lisa however, because  it was announced at the same time that that her own Labour run Wigan council has just admitted losing 3 times that amount, some £96,000 donated to a music group.  At a lost a lost to explain were the money had disappeared to, her local Wigan council staff have admitted ‘the council has no idea where the £96,000 has gone'

If the Tories policy is in tatters over £33k, is Labour’s policy down the toilet for 96k?
