UK Government

In the 1800s, the British government began to take a more active role in social welfare due to the Industrial Revolution's social consequences, such as urban poverty and poor working conditions. The introduction of factory acts aimed to regulate working hours and improve conditions, particularly for children and women. Additionally, the Poor Law Amendment of 1834 reformed the existing poor relief system, establishing workhouses to support the impoverished, though often under harsh conditions. These changes marked the beginning of a gradual shift towards a more structured approach to social welfare in Britain.

London operates under a parliamentary democracy as part of the United Kingdom. It has a Mayor and the Greater London Authority (GLA), which oversee various aspects of governance, including transportation and housing. The UK Parliament, located in Westminster, retains ultimate legislative authority over London. Additionally, local councils manage community services and development within their boroughs.

As of recent data, the UK government allocates approximately £500 million annually to its space program, which includes funding for various initiatives within the UK Space Agency and contributions to international projects. This investment supports satellite technology, research, and collaborations with organizations like the European Space Agency. The overall spending can vary yearly based on specific projects and priorities in the space sector.

Yes absolutely, the UK Government is totally corrupt, along with most of the worlds Governments. Any Government that allows for the spending of tax payers money without allowing them to see where all the funds are spent is by definition corrupt. Until all taxes paid are accountable to all people who pay those taxes, this corruption will remain.

Its very simple for a Government to prove they are not corrupt, by simply showing receipts and accounts of all taxes paid. For example, a simple expenses website could list all taxes paid and where those taxes were used for. Only this level of total transparency will ever ensure Governments spend their citizens money wisely. But as history has proven this is unlikely to ever happen in the UK or any where else.

Accounts transparency is a subject that is never discussed in the media. That in itself is a very telling observation. Which means clearly the media are under control by Governments. As total transparency is the one sure element that can prove beyond doubt if a Government is honest in its book keeping or not.

In short any Government that does not declare their book keeping accounts of all taxes paid, is corrupt. If not, then why would any Government need to keep this information secret.

All Governments who keep these accounts from their citizens will always say it is due to safe guards under the official secrets act. Or other similar excuses. That is wrong. No one should ever give anyone else their money to look after, if it is spent on anything they did not know about. So why should people give Governments their money as tax if they are not told on what this is spent upon. Its morally wrong and is clearly deception of the people. So even the judiciary is corrupted for allowing this situation to exist.

Governments are supposed to be the servants of the people not the other way around. All people of all countries should insist on total transparency of all tax money spent by their Governments. Unless that is done, Governments will always remain corrupt.

100% it is corrupt! because power and money have always shown who is really is. and for the money they do not care of comfort of people.

Government and council are not the same thing, although they are related. Government refers to the system or body that has the authority to make decisions and enforce laws in a country or region. Council, on the other hand, usually refers to a group of individuals who are elected or appointed to represent the interests of a specific community or organization and make decisions on their behalf. In some cases, a council can be part of a larger government structure, such as a city council within a municipal government.

The United Kingdom has a single national government based at Whitehall in London, with theoretical responsibility for the entirety of the UK. In recent years however, the powers and authority of the UK Government have been eroded by the creation of strong sub-national governments in three of the UK's four constituent countries.

Presently, in addition to the UK Government, there are regional governments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Each region has its own legislature (with Scotland's being the most powerful and Northern Ireland's being the least) and its own executive headed by a First Minister and a full Cabinet, though usually only the Welsh and Scottish executives are referred to as "governments". England has no devolved executive or legislature of its own, and so the UK Government takes responsibility for legislation and the management of public affairs in England at country-level. Attempts to introduce legislatures in England's regions were abandoned in the late 1990s due to a lack of popular support.

All though the devolved governments of the other three countries have grown quite powerful, particularly in the 2010 - 2011 period when greater powers were devolved to Northern Ireland and Wales, they do not have full autonomy. Powers in certain policy areas remain vested in the UK Government exclusively, whilst in other areas - particularly fiscal policy - the powers of regional governments are limited, either on a de jure or de facto basis.

The UK is not, however, a federal state. Whilst the UK Government is usually respectful of the the authority of the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish governments, they do not infact have any power or authority in their own right. Within the constitutional framework of the UK, power is devolved downwards by the UK Parliament - and it has an inviolable right to alter or end the terms of that devolution whenever it sees fit. As such, all though the UK does have regional governments, their powers come from central government and they are completely subject to the authority of Parliament (and by extension the UK Government of the day).

The same is true of local governments. The UK has 232 "local councils" with their own administrative and very, very limited legislative powers, again originating from Parliament and varying from area to area.
