It was a stupid idea to begin with and frankly it’s pretty shocking they ever even considered it.

‘Suggests’
Make it clear, scream it and put it up in neon lights.
Axeing it would make me regret my vote for Labour and end any support I have remaining for Starmer.

This probably means council tax valuations for properties will be reformed i.e. no longer going on their 1991 value which is what currently defines what band your house sits in.
its reported Rachel reeves is keen to get more money for local councils to stop them going under, so I think they will do something
reviewing the council tax valuations was the main rumour going round until it was usurped with the rumour that she would scrap single persons discount.

As a single person who will be moving into a flat in the next few months, this fucking pissed me off that they even considered cutting it. Felt like I was being punished as a working class fella for improving my own quality of life and living.
I won’t be surprised if they do it when they think no-one is looking or try to sneak it in at some point.

“Discount” the absolute nerve of it. I get my bins emptied twice a month and use absolutely nothing else from the council.
Some stupid arbitrary tax based on the value of your house about 35 years ago decides what you have to pay for public services you don’t even use.
Doesn’t exactly seem fair that a house of 1 adult pays the same as a house of 5 adults does it?
