@vfrmedia @EF @ChrisMayLA6 Well, this doesn't take account of the numbers in #prison for thing like non-payment of #fines or #counciltax, & nor does it take a/c of the numbers in #jail who have #mentalhealth issues, #learning #difficulties or are #neurodivergent. See: https://assets.childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/wpuploads/2025/02/cc-the-educational-journeys-of-children-in-secure-settings.pdf; https://www.nacro.org.uk/mental-health-in-prison/; https://prisonreformtrust.org.uk/prisoners-with-learning-disabilities-and-learning-difficulties/; https://www.penalreform.org/blog/understanding-and-supporting-the-needs-of-neurodivergent-people/.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/may/23/zack-polanski-greens-houseboat-council-tax-gla-investigation. This is absolutely absurd! Nigel #Farage can get away with accepting £5 million from a #Thai #cryptocurrency #billionaire, but a huge & disproportionate fuss is made over a late #payment of a few hundred £s in #counciltax by @ZackPolanski? What will the #media & his all-too-many, & vicious, #political #enemies throw at him next?

The latest Council Tax bill just dropped through the letterboxes of countless people across Anglesey today.
The cost? £2227 for the year. £42 per week. For a rabbit hutch bungalow.
A fundamentally regressive tax that no party ever wants to make fairer.

RE: https://mastodon.world/@Jon6705/116141966217015833
⚠️ reminder ⚠️
we still pay #counciltax without getting services. we are being robbed & #gaslit to believe it's our responsibility to clean the streets.
i will not pick up litter if it doesn't include collective refusal to pay council tax & picketing the council. the money is with the #BillionaireClass & their corporations who get the outsourced council contracts to service us. stop #PublicServicePrivatisation & give ppl decent jobs with good wages.

@Alternatecelt @adrianww @peterbrown @LaChasseuse @Wen Galloway needs democratic accountability, which Dumfries and Galloway Council is much too large, and much too under-resourced, to provide.
Scotland, generally, needs both local government reform -- we don't currently have any local government -- and in particular local government finance reform (which tinkering with #CouncilTax rates will not do); but to do that we need to get oligarchic power out of local politics, and that, too, is hard.
-
Many eyes will glaze over at the mention of local government finance, but its reform must be tackled by any UK government that claims to be progressive.

If you're interested in the reform of #CouncilTax -- which you should be -- there's a current consultation you can respond to, and should. It isn't, of course, nearly radical enough -- it's an exercise in turd-polishing, not in seriously trying to address the problem. But the more people who say so, the more likely we are to get real change.

Reform UK likely to raise council tax in Kent despite promise to cut costs
Kent becomes latest local authority controlled by Nigel Farage’s party to signal intention to raise council tax
A Reform UK-run council where the party sought to pilot drastic cost-cutting plans is going to have to raise council tax, a cabinet member has admitted.
Services at Kent county council were already “down to the bare bones”, said Reform’s cabinet member for adult social care, Diane Morton. It makes Kent the latest local authority controlled by Nigel Farage’s party to signal its intention to raise council tax.

Those freebies the Labour Front Bench keep getting will be just the tonic for this upsetting news, we can all be happy that the Front Bench are having fun at pop concerts and their pets are being looked after while they're 'hard' at work....
