Labour's confirmation to maintain council tax rises at a 5% cap next year may result in a $100 increase in average household bills.
Keir Starmer, confronted by Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch at PMQs, avoided clarifying if Labour would change the council tax cap, leading to speculation.
Statistics show a 5.1% increase in the average council tax for band D households in England, equating to an additional $106 next year.
Starmer criticized the Conservatives for their local authority funding approach, stating they left councils in a 'catastrophic state' due to inadequate financial planning.
