No. This is incorrect.
Labour had taken action - by putting in place the BSF.
The Tory government cut the BSF back in 2010 and further when asked to make money available (bearing in mind a chunk of concrete had fallen off a school in 2018) they didn’t provide nearly enough - indeed they halved it - here’s Mr Slater on the Today programme yesterday (from 1:12:53).
Well let’s hope that this quango doesn’t find out that while I know loads about the nutritional value of ducks I know next to nothing about their nutritional needs.
On a more serious note, I suspect that over time these things will settle themselves as increasing numbers of users opt for different communities over time. We’re at the point now where there are more posts and comments in my subscribed communities than I can reasonably keep up with, which is a new thing (and a good thing).
At risk of spamming the link; Mr Slater talked about it on the Today programme here at 1:12:53
Thank you for finding the clip! An incredulous performance from Mike Graham.

Almost choked on my tofu. Now to read the article.
Edit: I’m not sure concrete is woke. Many moons ago one of our political people seemed to think you could grow it though so maybe?
Yes and no; that thread didn’t have this morning’s revelations but it’s got more activity on it.
Hard to know which of the Uk_politics and UnitedKingdom communities is better for these kinds of discussion.
I’m subscribed to both and see both regularly.
Thanks for signposting though!
