Labour leader Keir Starmer recently urged Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak to stop their planned council tax hike and to help protect family incomes.
Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, the Labour leader said: “Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak’s council tax hike will hit families right at the very time millions are worried about the future of their jobs and how they will make ends meet.”
The Labour leader accuses the Government of breaking its promise to do ‘whatever is necessary’ to support councils by forcing them to hike taxes for households across Britain.
