    The Audit Commission - a spending watchdog that stopped councils taking too many risks - was abolished in 2015.

    Probably not abolishing the thing that was literally there to stop this from happening.

    In fairness maybe this thing didn’t work, but surely some oversight would reduce ridiculous things like this from happening.
