The tax locks arms race is getting silly
@Jeremy_Hunt now ruling out changing how we tax houses= RULING OUT TAX REFORM
@RachelReeves should NOT match these pledges
Taxation of housing is most broken part of tax system
Basing council tax on property values from 1991 is absurd
Such a good day, thanks for the invitation!
