I will pay £4022 more in tax.

Do you think a Labour government won't cost you more, Mozz?

From the link, 

"Labour in Wales have proposed Council Tax revaluation and rebanding. Labour now want to do this across the UK. Pushing an average home into the next Council Tax band would increase tax by £482 a year, costing £1,928 over the next 4 years."

There is a link to the evidence supporting that claim, which is a piece in The Telegraph. 

The Telegraph article states the proposed increase , "is due to come into force in 2028," so not until the fourth year of the "next 4 years" then.

The Telegraph also states, "The overhaul, backed by Torsten Bell, the Labour candidate for Swansea West, and chief executive of charity the Resolution Foundation, would however benefit those in the north and south west.

Hull would be the biggest beneficiary, with average council tax bills plummeting by 60pc, followed by Stoke (-57pc), Blackpool (-56pc) and Sunderland (-56pc). 

Across most of the North and Midlands, average bills would fall by more than a fifth."

"Re-evaluating the bands to current house prices would spark bills to rise in 119 of the 325 local authority areas in England,the think tank said".

That means almost two-thirds of authorities will have no increases in England.

That's their evidence?????

This is the same botox that Sunak was called out for lying about after the first debate.

Trying to pass it off as official treasury figures, when it's based on Tory speculation.

They don't mind if it's taken to be a con, as it will reinforce the feeling that everyone is lying all the time and that the world is  an incomprehensible morass of relativistic 'personal truth' and lies and there is nothing you can do, so don't vote, just binge on junk food, junk telly, personally tailored 'news' delivered whenever you want it and telling you whatever you want.

Aye right - a load of old pony.

When all else fails, attack the (perceived) enemy.

[Atheist]

And first find (or create) an enemy.

Would people be happy to pay more tax if it went to improve the NHS, social services/care for the elderly, and suchlike?

[Mozz71]

12:42 I'm not saying that Naomi, just tjat a survey devised by their political opponents probably isn't the best place to find an unbiased summary.

[bednobs]

especially their rivals who have already made the claaim over and over in public

[jno]

amazingly, my tax will go up exactly as much as naomi's. Given the accuracy of their pocket calculators, that's impressively precise.

sandyRoe: "Would people be happy to pay more tax if it went to improve the NHS, social services/care for the elderly, and suchlike?" - the idea that cash alone is the answer to the NHS is folly. It's a black hole with vast administrtive structures, huge waste and inneficiency. It would swallow 100% of GDP if we let it. We need to re boot it, start again, make it efficient.
