"Eye watering", "black hole", "shocking", "whopping".

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


From today’s Taxpayers’ Alliance mass email:

News broke yesterday that Surrey County Council is to hold a referendum asking residents for permission to hike council tax by an eye-watering 15%… The reason the Council is doing this, it says, is to plug a black hole in their finances to pay for the increasing costs of adult social care.

Now, there is no doubt that appropriately funding social care is one of the most challenging policy issues we face. But a 15% tax hike in Surrey is shocking… The scale of this tax increase would put a whopping £190 per year on a family’s bill for an average Band D property in Surrey.

Ho hum.

From Homelet:

• The second half of 2016 has seen a considerably slower rate of rental growth, compared to the same period in 2015
• The average UK rental value was £892pcm – this is 1.7% higher than the same period last year (£877pcm)
• Since July 2016, rents in Greater London have seen a slower pace of annual growth than last year
• This month the average rental value in Greater London is 2.0% higher than the same period last year

£892pcm – £877pcm = £15pcm = £180 per year.

I’m looking forward to the TPA email:

News broke yesterday that UK landlords are asking tenants for eye-watering rent increases… The reason landlords are doing this, they say, is to plug a black hole in their finances to pay for the increasing costs of foreign holidays and new cars.

Now, there is no doubt that going on holiday and replacing your car are the most challenging policy issues landlords face. But a 1.7% rent hike is shocking… The scale of this tax increase would put a whopping £180 per year on a tenant family’s bill for an average Band D property.

Remind me, who’s the ‘snowflake’ generation?
