Ok so I'm going away for a week and am waiting to board the plane but I've just heard about something I felt I should share even though I won't be able to respond.
Labour's manifesto includes the option to introduce a Land Value Tax if they get into power.
If they go ahead with this, it could treble council tax for anyone who owns their home, including pensioners on fixed incomes. It doesn't just apply to big plots of land, it includes the land that your house stands on and any little bit of garden that you have. Could very easily lead to pensioners having to sell their homes for little flats etc. Have a look on the internet and see what it could mean.
I never thought anything could make the Tories "dementia" tax look like the best option but this does.
