For the third year since Starmer said “not a penny more” on your Council Tax, Rotherham Labour are again hiking the Council Tax.
‼️UPDATE* To be clear to both the troll and Labour affiliates who are saying online that I’m calling for the Welfare Rights services to be cut. I am not. I am saying it is a disgrace that Labour Party taxation policy has attacked the revenue of vital charities.‼️
My original post continues below …
I’m still digesting details of all their budget proposals, but shockingly I’ve just seen that RMBC are having to spend £135,000 next year to step-in to fund the brilliant MacMillan Welfare Rights service, after MacMillian have had to cut their services due to the hike in taxes from Rachel Reeves.
Just like hospices, all charities have been hit hard by Labour’s heartless assault on their revenue.
