UPDATE: The Conservative Party has issued an urgent warning about potential changes to council tax that could significantly impact households across Middle England. Shadow Housing Secretary Lisa Nandy has been accused of championing a ‘Left-wing plot’ to impose up to 14 council tax bands, a move that could see residents in the highest band paying nearly nine times more than those in the lowest.
This alarming claim was made public earlier today, highlighting the ongoing political tensions as the Labour Party prepares to unveil its latest housing policies. Conservative housing spokesman has raised concerns that such drastic measures would disproportionately affect families already facing financial strain.
The proposed changes are expected to be discussed in-depth during the Labour Party’s upcoming conference, scheduled for October 16, 2023
