Yeah yeah; I can already see what some of you are thinking: most people don’t have second homes. But that’s not the point. Instead of building more houses, take them away from those who have a spare house. How Trotsky/Marx is that? From the Conservatives!

A shit budget from an even shitter government.

A ≠ B

How does increasing someone’s Council Tax on a Second Home become taking the Second Home away from them?
