Labour To Allow Council Tax To Go Up... Despite Keir Starmer Promising To Freeze It

 

Yet Another Labour Robbery of Your Money

Keir Starmer's Labour Government has confirmed in Parliament this week that it will allow councils to put up council tax. But as recently as last year, it promised to freeze council tax if in Government.

Last year, in March 2023, as reported by the BBC, Keir Starmer promised to freeze council tax if Labour was in Government. It is now in Government.

"In a speech in Swindon, Wiltshire, Sir Keir said freezing council tax was 'a tax cut for the 99% of working people, compared with the tax cut for the richest 1% that we get under the Tories'."

This is yet another lie by Keir Starmer's Labour Government and another robbery of Southampton residents' money.

Let's not forget that as reported by Southampton Independents, the Southampton Labour Council asked Government whether it could put up Southampton council tax by 15%.

And Southampton Labour councillors tried to hide their request to Government from residents.
