Tax hikes now are the last thing Londoners need

Broken promise: Rishi Sunak's National Insurance hike has left families worrying how they'll pay their next gas bill

- Sir Ed Davey

LIFE'S been tough for Londoners lately. After all the sacrifices of the Covid pandemic, our city is now facing a cost-of-living emergency.

Soaring energy bills, food prices and sky-high housing costs are overwhelming too many families. We face the biggest fall in living standards since the Fifties. The Government must act now.

Londoners are doing their bit: working hard, raising their families and caring for loved ones. They deserve more help from the Government, so they don't spend the whole month worrying how they'll pay the next gas bill.

But Tory ministers either don't get it or just don't care. They are doing nothing to help - instead, they are adding to the pain with their unfair tax rises.
