Jack Thurston @jackthurston.bsky.social · 11/05/2026How about Keir Starmer announces he’ll scrap council tax and national insurance, and replace with a Land Value Tax. “You wanted change, I’ll give you change.” Then drops the mic and walks off the stage. 🎤 330
brianleach.bsky.social @brianleach.bsky.social · 11/05/2026Good idea but too complicated to put in place I think Jack. Council Tax and NIC cost are already in the system whereas a Land Tax would require a valuation of all land and the administration, assessment and tax collection would need a whole new system. 100
