This election is a referendum on Labour's Family Home Tax and their politics of envy.
Keir Starmer's Labour government is introducing a new surcharge on homes worth £2 million or more, adding up to £7,500 a year on top of existing council tax bills from April 2028. In Westminster, where property values are among the highest in the country, that means thousands of ordinary households, families, pensioners and long-term residents who have worked hard to put down roots in this city are directly in the firing line.
This is Same Old Labour: Politics of Envy from top to bottom.
Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves are targeting family homes as his government stumbles from crisis to crisis.
Sadiq Khan has offered nothing: no clarity, no reassurance and no willingness to stand up for Westminster families.
And Westminster Labour has watched in silence, putting party loyalty ahead of the people they are supposed to represent.
Westminster Conservatives challenged Labour's council leader to join a united, cross-party effort to oppose this deeply unfair tax and defend the people of Westminster. He refused, offering only excuses, waffle, and inaction.
Westminster Labour had a choice between their party and their residents. They chose their party.
But you do not have to settle for a Labour council that does not care. Westminster Conservatives have a Plan to stand up to Labour at every level.

This is your chance to tell Keir Starmer, Sadiq Khan and Westminster Labour that ordinary families in Westminster will not pay the price for their politics of envy.
On 7 May, you have a choice between a Labour council that stays silent while your home is targeted by a Labour Government and a Conservative council that will fight for you at every level of government.
Westminster Conservatives will always put local people first.
If a Conservative council is elected on 7 May, we will:
Oppose the Family Home Tax at every opportunity and at every level

Fight for fair funding so Westminster residents are not double taxed by a government that short changes our city
Demand Westminster Labour explain why they chose party loyalty over the families they represent
Westminster Labour had every chance to defend the people of Westminster. They failed every time.
Your family home must be protected by the council you elect. Not sacrificed for a Labour government pursuing a Politics of Envy that punishes people for working hard in the place they call home.
