Birmingham MP calling for government rethink of the way cuts have been calculated for Birmingham City Council

Two Birmingham MPs have written to the government calling for a rethink of the way cuts have been calculated for Birmingham City Council.

Gisela Stuart and Jack Dromey claim the city's been unfairly targeted with bigger cuts than other councils - despite a high level of need.

A few days ago, an independent panel blamed "flawed planning" for a £49million overspend by councillors.
