**Labour Savaged for ‘Absurd’ Move as 976 UK Churches and Cathedrals at ‘Risk’**
A concerning announcement has emerged indicating that 976 historic churches and cathedrals in the UK are now classified as at risk. This alarming revelation comes from experts who highlight the potential endangerment of significant places of worship across the nation.
Labour's recent decisions have drawn sharp criticism, suggesting a lack of commitment to preserving the country's heritage. Critics argue that this negligence sets a troubling precedent, demonstrating what the party truly prioritises. As these historic buildings face potential decline, the need for government support becomes increasingly urgent.
The Friends of Friendless Churches expressed their dismay over the situation, stating, "This is such an absurd situation that we find ourselves in, so we are desperately hoping that later this month, when the Budget is announced, the Government will restore that scheme to its full capacity." They further noted that current actions "clearly set the tone for what this Government values," implying a concerning trend in prioritisation.
The threat to these treasured sites reflects a broader issue regarding the preservation of national heritage, with many calling for immediate action to reverse this state of affairs before it is too late.
