On mansion taxes and why they aren't enough ... according to @drabioconnor.bsky.social
"They’ve chosen to circumvent a reform that everyone agrees needs to happen. Councils are on their knees, people are in council tax arrears & regional inequality keeps getting worse. They had the opportunity to change a system that is fundamentally broken &chose not to” My view👇
A new 'mansion tax' on homes worth more than £2 million has been announced. The chancellor hopes it will raise £400m per year from 2028.

More from me on #PoliticsLive:
🤔 Labour MP said she benefited from safe & secure as a kid, as did many, so why won’t govt extend that opportunity to others?
👀 see Manchester where ‘build baby build’ has been embraced yet there’s been +50% rent rises & mass displacement
