      “Private companies would also be able to employ those who are on community sentences.”

      Immigration is bad because it drives down wages yet this is ok?

      Why even hire people on minimum wage if the government will give them to you for free. Couple this with benefit cuts driving more people into crime, who are then forced to work for free. 

      Labour really leaning into those far right policies.

      Get rid of council tax and central resource allocation and bring in local income tax like Japan. Then councils have loads of money and don’t have to beg the central government to stop slashing their funding. Reduce income tax by 10% and create a 10% local tax, so as far as taxpayers are concerned nothing changes.

      This is one of the reasons local services are so good and well funded in Japan. The street I walked along to work in central Tokyo was spotless because they had council workers picking up every morsel of litter every morning.

      They even have a system where you can choose to pay your local tax to any council in the country instead of the one you live in, such as the small countryside town you’re originally from. That helps spread money from rich big city councils with lots of high taxpayers to more rural ones. And in return for doing that that council will send you some of their local produce, for example you can choose a council in a region famous for mangoes or beer or beef and get monthly deliveries of those things to your house.
