Many Labour councils have been wanting to raise Council Tax for years, in order to provide them with the money to fund decent services in their areas. What's been preventing them from doing so is the cap imposed by central government. So it seems odd that Gulliver should see a partial lifting of that cap as 'nasty'.

Perhaps Gulliver would care to explain how either central or local government is expected to fund health services, social services, education, etc, without taking the money in taxes from its citizens?

We need to accept that, if we want decent services, we'll have to pay for them. I'll vote for any party that pledges to initially put Income Tax up to 22% (with increased thresholds, so that the poorest families aren't hit) and promises to raise it by a further 1% for each of the next three years (thus reaching 25% eventually). That would still mean that we'd be paying less tax in total than those countries with decent childcare/social care/health care, etc (such as the Scandinavian countries) but we'd be able to make a start on improving failing systems (and possibly even beginning to reduce the country's massive debt burden too).
Unfortunately gulliver these tax rises are likely to boost the Tories support from voters especially from those on private pensions who dont pay any NI as most people see the need to get a grip on finances after the covid massive spending and the need to spend more on NHS and social care. The only thing I would of wanted was for a bit more on income tax maybe 20p rate to 22p, 40p to 45 and 45p to 50p

I doubt you'll see another Labour government gully.
Have you got a link to that gulliver, (Lol)?? But SNP incrased tax rates in Scotland a while ago are still poplar there and Labour would want to increase tax and spending too as they know we ca'nt spend more and repay covid bill's (furlough, grant's, lost receipts, NHS costs, vaccinne/testing costs) without raising tax. They might do it a diffrent way but need to do it.
What would you do instead gulliver?
mid term mid crises still Rodders can't lay a glove on Boris, PMSL!
in times of trouble, Tories often turn to socialist solutions, whether it's selling off other people's houses under Thatcher or Sunak's furlough sceme to pay people not to work. Oh, the odd election pledge has to be broken along the way but that doesn't worry Tories as long aas they're the beneficiaries.

According to the latest poll in the Cloud Cuckooland Gazette.
