I agree, it’s a nailed down certainty. I do hope that some impact assessments are carried out though, and that they learn from the Brexit debacle.
As if the electorate is going to give a flying fuck about those.

Well … you don’t have to swing them all. It’ll probably be tight (again). A few percent changing their minds might be all it takes.

I’d argue that a much higher percentage will be swayed by some three word bullshit catchphrase.

Tories are cunts ?
Starmer owes me a fiver for that one
I.e. Go Away Boris on the aye side (or words to that effect involving more expletives)?
Nope, address not found. Obv. blue spot.
Scotland could refine their messaging down to two: ‘Fuck England’

They could also just revert to the one word (post closing time) mantra of
Fuck!

That’s bound to be a phone game soon - poke his bum to make him jump homeless people? Collect rolls of wallpaper to win prizes?
In the meantime… no massive surprise here except it’s the Express publishing it

This does seem bonkers as the top band in Winchester (Band H) is £2,700
My Band D house is only £1,300 (or £975 with single occupancy discount)
Conversely, County Durham has the third lowest (311 out of 313) average house price in England - measured at £112,722.16 in February 2021.
However, its residents receive the eighth-highest average Council Tax at £2,503.
In Hartlepool, meanwhile, the average house price is £115,437.76, which ranks as 308th out of 313.
Analysis shows though that its average council tax bill is £2,528, the sixth-highest in the country.
It’s bonkers if you’re not a cunt who believes the rich should be subsidised by the plebs.
I’m not going to defend Council Tax but the amount you pay is determined by how many services your Council has to provide. Poor areas need more facilities/staff to handle the greater needs of the population. On average 50% of Council Tax goes on longterm care. If you don’t have the same costs, there is no reason to have high Council Tax, hence rich areas pay less.

It’s probably more to do with the income from business rates and rents
And the above
Above above, fuck it, I know what I mean
