Maybe take that question to the Lib Dems and Tories who have so far overturned the Commons votes on these measures at least 3 times!

You realise this is because the Tories and Lib Dems keep blocking the entire bill in the Lords. They keep voting against these provisions.

So what is the government to do? Delay the whole bill for months and months longer, or strike a compromise and hope they can later to implement the rest.

And don't say "they use the same local services". Council tax is only slightly about local services. Mostly it's funding social care.

#AnimalRights Lifting the rights of the most vulnerable amongst us lifts us all ⚖️ #HumanRights #JusticeForAll

‘To be treated like an animal is to be dismissed, ignored, brutalised w/o consequence. This standard of oppression becomes a yardstick by which all suffering is measured’

Society has forced us to be participants in needless, gratuitous violence on an unfathomable scale, yet instead of raging against society, we nurture our ambivalence & indifference & set in motion psychological mechanisms to numb ourselves to our indefensible cruelty.

Net migration has fallen again to 204,000, the lowest level since 2021 and is forecast to continue falling over the coming years.

Tories were in power for 92% of the last 15 years. But you'd never believe that whenever you listen to anyone from the Shadow Cabinet on TV. A miserable shower......
