WATCH: Wandsworth Tories have chosen to double your council tax. It’s outrageous. It’s stunning. People who don’t know how to run the council are panicking and making you pay the price. This increase is unfair, not necessary we oppose it - and as soon as we can Labour will scrap it. This is your choice, your decision. You own it. This is a cruel, selfish, political decision. And you’re seeking to blame everyone but yourselves. You have been dishonest. Every single figure you have quoted in this financial discussion was available before May. You had this information in front of you when you wrote your manifesto and when you spoke to voters in the election. It is absolutely wrong that you concealed your intention to double council tax. This is done with no mandate, no scrutiny. You are not putting it to a referendum of local people. This news will stun and appal local families. It’s so unnecessary. As I will explain, there is another way – our plan, backed by our record of smart financial management. And let’s not lose sight of the fact this is a product of Tory internal chaos. A leader who lasted 44 days, a new leader who caused two cabinet resignations, you lost the Trinity ward by-election and are now doubling Council Tax. Amateurs creating absolute chaos. Before I go into more detail I’d emphasise the key point: this isn’t over. This is not a done deal. We have until January. Join the campaign. Send them a message they can’t ignore
