Wes Streeting, Labour's Shadow Health Secretary comes unstuck, when questioned over Council Tax rises. Labour have pledged that during their term of office, there will be no rises in common taxes such as national insurance, income tax and VAT etc. However Council Tax, which takes out a big chunk of disposable income for many homeowners has risen relentlessly over the years, always exceeding the inflation rate.
Watch Wes struggle and desperately attempt to divert his response to 'what the Tories will do'. You know it's inevitable your Council Tax will have to rise big-time under Labour. Something has to give, if you're not going to increase the common major taxes and have the spending plans that Labour will need to fix the UK.
