End the freeze on income tax thresholds & adjust annually, indexed to inflation
The fiscal drag hits lower- and middle-income earners the hardest. We call on the Government to unfreeze income tax thresholds and index them to inflation. We believe this will make the tax system fair, let workers keep a fairer share of their earnings, boost the economy, and help families.
Increase the Personal Allowance to £16,000 and link it to inflation
We call on the Government to increase the Personal Allowance from £12,570 to £16,000 and automatically uprate it each year in line with inflation (CPI), so people on low and middle incomes don’t pay more tax in real terms when living costs rise.
Council freezes council tax rate for residents
Westminster Council has announced a freeze on the main element of council tax for 2026-27, maintaining the second lowest rate in the country as a cost of living support measure.
Remove the triple lock commitment on pensions and tie increase to inflation only
We feel the triple lock on pensions is unaffordable and unjust. We think tying the increase in pensions to inflation only could ensure the living standards of those reliant on the pension are protected, and would be more affordable.
Require child maintenance payments to increase by inflation & review enforcement
We call the Government to review and look into reforming Child Maintenance Service (CMS). We believe the current payment system does not reflect the true cost of raising children, especially in the current cost of living crisis.
