  In opposition Labour talked about replacing council tax with a charge with would be 0.5% of the value of the property you lived in which would halve our bill but obviously mostly increase the bills for much property in London and the south east.

  Can’t see them being in office long enough to even implement it.

    Ooi how do you see them being removed.

    Because it is not looking like the PLP has any interest in changing the leadership. And if that changes. It will be more of the same without a major change in MPs.

    So labour right will be in power until at least 2029.

      Sorry I meant a change this big would require a 2nd term to implement and it’s that which looks unlikely.
