Those clips are from the 2023 / 24 financial year. A load of hot air because Labour were in opposition and no election was planned.
It's misrepresented by the Tories though. |  | | |

Starmer saying "next year Labour would freeze council tax". Two years ago. | | | |

It’s an old video of Starmer saying he would freeze council tax for the year in question.
Shared by the Conservative Facebook page and symptomatic of the issue they’re faced with - any time they ask Labour ‘why haven’t you done this or that?’, the answer is always, ‘you had 14 years, why didn’t you do it?. [Post edited 21 Mar 17:09]

Well it was an easy thing to say knowing they wouldn't be in power. Now we do have Labour and council tax bills will rise by another good chunk.
Labour or Tory...no thanks. Both useless. Tories we know about, Labour are still showing us but both bad. | | | |

I’m certainly not thrilled with Labour’s start, but some of the very good things they’ve achieved done seem to get through the media. | | | |

I'm not just talking now, I'm talking historically. Labour and Tory together have ruined this country.
The debt, the deficit, the state of public services, they are both culpable. They've been too busy fighting each other than looking after the country. Well that and lining their own pockets. | | | |

As soon as one gets in its first aim is to reverse the policies of the other, next change of government rinse and repeat. We need sensible middle ground policies, these changes cost us a fortune. |  | | |

Spot on.
I’ve spent today at an education conference looking at the changes Labour will make.
I’ll probably be doing the same thing for a different government in 4 years time. | | | |

Education always gets reinvented by Governments of all types. It's crazy, the core components are the same, but the frameworks get redesigned every time. |  |

Have you heard about the high court case next month where the government are being taken to court on behalf of the 100,000 special educational needs children in private schools. If they win the vat will be removed again. I'm not saying it will happen but provision should have been made in the original legislation to accommodate these children. No forward thinking by Reeves yet again. | | | |

Exactly my point. They on't build on anything they just tear down what went before. | | | |

There’s a bigger issue here for me.
A place at my nearest LA special school comes in at about £22k. The nearest private one comes in at £85k
This has to be stopped. Massive companies and hedge funds are ripping the public purse off the way they run these schools.
I’ve no issue at all with general private schools - good luck to them, but private, profit making specials should not be allowed. | | | |

Is there £17,000 vat in the higher cost that could be knocked off. | | | |

Those figures are prior to the increase.
Even if it was, it would still be 3 times more expensive that the maintained school. | | | |

So now over £100,000 per child a year. Truly staggering. | | | |

It's the same pattern in Children's Social Care and Agency Work in Social Services and the NHS. | |

These are massive things that need looking at.

Tghis kind of thing is going on in all aspects of business though. Take eye surgery, the NHS subs out to specialist hospitals, one opened in Swansea recently. | | | |

Some of the big contracts have criteria which almost automatically selects the supplier, I've seen it several times. | |

Off the top of my head, stopped a number of strikes, reduced hospital waiting lists, banned no fault evictions, raised the minimum wage, reform of workers rights, overseen interest rate cuts, deportation thousands of illegal immigrants, launched planning reform to get us building, increased defence spending and started to repair relations with our European neighbours.
As I said, I’m dissatisfied in many ways with their start but there have been some good points IMO. | | | |
