Please do implement a Land Value Tax, and move to a zoning based system for construction with a default yes if safety criteria is met over the current planning application system.

This sounds radical and possibly very progressive. I await the full report before making that judgement but if it is then the Labour Party may be finding its mojo again, interesting times ahead (hopefully).

It feels like nearly every benefit I hear announced is for people on universal credit. They may need the help, but I want to hear my government do something for me *as well.* The £150 energy cut is decent but doesn’t offset soaring council tax, which will just stretch to a staggering amount if it’s allowed to go up by 5% endlessly.

They should keep their promise and abolish leasehold. That’ll quell the anger of about 5 million households who feel betrayed by Number 10’s current stance of doing absolutely nothing about it, in spite of it being part of their manifesto and the King’s Speech.

Let me guess. “Broadest shoulders etc” which basically means that anyone in the middle who works for a living gets shafted whilst those at the top and the bottom are protected.

Finally!
Look, I don’t think Rachael Reeves has been the anti christ of chancellors like the press insist, but she has been disappointing unambitious.
There’s so much about our bloated and confusing tax system that just doesn’t work and I expected a new government insisting they were going to “fix the economy” to actually be willing to make some changes to it, but so far they’ve just A. Added new taxes into new things, and B. Fiddled with the numbers a bit on existing taxes.
They haven’t actually changed anything when it’s clear that our tax system just isn’t working anymore, because they’re having to break the system as it was designed to force more people into higher tax brackets, while also making it more expensive for employers to hire people in order to make up their budget.
We need to have a completely overhaul, or at least comprehensive review, of our tax system for how to just make it better cause it just isn’t working for our economy.

“Voters aren’t turning to Reform and the Greens because they’re becoming ‘extreme’. They’re, fairly, concluding that the mainstream offer is managed decline and they’d rather roll the dice.
