The London PM sneaked into a quiet holiday park in Rhyl yesterday. Not actually meeting local people. Just our Tory MP aka #DoctorDolittle and our Tory MS Gareth #TwoJobs Davies. Once again, Boris Johnson lied. He claimed that "Conservative councils charge the lowest in the country; I think Labour councils charge some of the highest."
Unfortunately for him, we know different. (Link to a fullfact.org page)
It’s true that Conservative councils charge lower band D council tax, but that's only because Tory areas have more expensive houses, which means they have more houses in higher bands. Tory controlled councils can therefore often afford to have lower rates on band D homes.
***The average council tax in Conservative areas is much higher than in Labour areas. And the average in Liberal Democrat areas is higher still.***
He also said "In this election, it's also about which party is really getting on with the job and focusing on the things that matter."
And we all know which party that is. The one that got behind the people and followed the same rules. And didn't go off partying.
