@afcstuff Raya should have focused on improving rather than switching to number one

@francescrook @MartinSLewis I’m Highgate. Highest band. I get 25% single person’s discount and it’s still too expensive. Praying they don’t scrap it despite the pitiful concession.

@MartinSLewis And a higher band, I live near Hampstead Garden Suburb and the Bishops Avenue, if we have a banded property tax it should protect the poor and get the rich to pay their share

Reports out that the govt hasn't ruled out ending the 25% single person council tax discount. Clearly this would be a painful hit for single adults and single parent families, but also
1) What about the similar reduction for Severe Medical Impairments? Someone with an SMI doesn't count for council tax purposes, so if as is common they live with another adult, there's an 25% reduction equivalent to the single person reduction. Surely they're not going to end the reduction for these vulnerable people too?
2) Substantial council tax changes shouldn't be done without a rebanding. Up to 400,000 homes are in the wrong band because we still rely in Eng & Scot on a stop-gap temporary valuation done in 1991 to dictate what bands people are in. If such a big change comes, surely there should be even more emphasis on ensuring that people are in the right band and not overpaying.

@Ldn_Ambulance I have attempted suicide twice in the last year. I live alone, have been completely isolated for 8 months. On furlough the whole time and now I’m being made redundant at age 28, in the winter, in a pandemic and I’m solely financial responsible for myself. It’s too much to take.

Sadly, the number of suicide and attempted suicide incidents we attend are increasing.
Our crews now attend an average of 37 suicides or attempted suicides per day, compared to 22 in 2019 and 17 five years ago.
