Hiking council tax by 2%, after the Tories scrapped council tax benefit, will really hit the poorest. It’s a regressive tax and needs urgent reform. Too many of the poorest are taken to court because they can’t afford to pay.

They will continue to cut central government payments to councils, then set the referendum threshold lower than the cuts, so in real terms local government funding continues to fall. Councillors fear a referendum, and as you say any increase would be borne mostly by the poorest.
