        A tax on people with more than one property, such as buy-to-let landlords. Most Owners of one property wld see reduced bill.

        It's backed by the IFS as the fairest way to tax for local services.

        That's because Land Value Tax is a widely recognised policy that requires no explanation. You can just google it.

        Why does @bbclaurak want a cap on charges for social care? Because it will benefit the asset rich. The vast majority will lose out.

        This says explicitly that you will consult on introducing a Land Value Tax? Are you now saying you won't? #GardenTax #bbcpic.twitter.com/BocMiElPW0

        It says will consult on other options 'such as' Land Value Tax. So #LabourManifesto never said it would be introduced without fail.

        That's not good enough.....they put policy in manifesto....and now McDonnell claiming it will never be implemented....so why consult on it?

        It's not a policy - #LabourManifesto made clear it's one of number of possibilities which would be consulted on. Consultation clarify issues

        But if McDonnell has given a categoric explicit assurance he will never implement #GardenTax.....why consult on it?

        So that everyone gets a clear understanding of the reasons behind why it hasn't been implemented - this is what real consultation is about

        Glad you accept that Land Value Taxation will not happen. You seem to have addressed your own worries.
