Since being elected as MP, Labour's Jonathan Brash has taken various steps to highlight the “deep unfairness” of the current council tax system and demand changes.

This has included convening the first all-party parliamentary group on council tax reform, having meetings with ministers and collecting hundreds of signatures as part of a petition.
