New Labour to mount Council Tax raid

There is an old saying 'Don't believe anything until it has been officially denied', this is particually true under the pathological liars of New Labour. So when they deny that they are going to use council tax reforms to mount a smash and grab raid on Middle England you know that this is exactly there plan.

Conservative shadow local government secretary Caroline Spelman said the document provided new evidence of plans to increase taxes purely because the value of people's home had increased since the 1990s.

"This official document exposes the truth that higher bands are on the way, millions of homes could move up two bands, and exemptions and discounts will be slashed," she said.

"This is another smash and grab raid on the savings of middle England - pension funds were first, your home is next."
