Raise the cap, not the tax!
No tax rises on working people lasted long!
Raising for what? What do they provide
I’m being charged £300 a month for an apartment, AN APARTMENT. Charge the landlord double tax on all his other properties
It’s all going on private landlords. .50p in the £1
Sick to the back teeth of all these taxes.
Can’t wait to emigrate to Thailand in next few years, (although Rachel from accounts has also managed to wipe 10% of the sterling baht exchange rate since July so god knows what’ll be by then)
Something is going to have to be done about the unsustainable and untenable about of social care expenditure. Councils are bankrupting themselves on child and adult care; a review into spending is imperative or taxes will continue to increase to meet the demand.
When one child or adult in a care setting can cost a council £500k+ a year that’s where the money is going
Oh great.
This country really is a 💩hole
Any and every type of government are adamant of taxing us into nothing
Has anyone considered that raising taxes during crippling inflation and disgustingly low wages might not work? Like, how much more of normal people’s money can be taxed??
At least we know the money is being spent well

Ah ok, well at least we know some of the money is being spent well

Ah no its mostly going to dinner ladys who think they should get paid the same as bin men
Gotta pay those salary increases somehow. I don’t begrudge them but I’m not expecting services to get better at all.
Raising taxes etc but services seem to be going down the drain further which makes no sense. Yet our taxpayers money is being sent to foreign countries and to those that rock up on our shores in dingys illegally.
Tax for the local areas are being hoarded by Westminster and spaffed on fuck knows what, instead of being delivered to the councils that run the community and delivered to the things that will really make a difference
Raising it the maximum amount whilst reducing bin collections to 4 weekly, where is the extra money going?
