Yes the mansion owners are going to have to pay a bit more, but they arent really going to realky miss it are they? EV drivers and Landlords have had it coming for a while now

Look - it's no good only whinging about the Tories. Both they and Labour are useless; the Lib-Dems are even more useless and Reform UK is no more than a peoples' hope.

If the tax take was coordinated with economic growth policies, you could see an eventual reduction in taxation when growth takes over; but, as I said, when the so-called "rich" have been fleeced, have no more businesses, have had to sell their homes (to whom, though?) and there is insufficient tax to sustain the government service, then shit creek beckons. Labour is doing this in spades.
