Ipswich Labour are lowering council house rents by 1% to comply with what was in George Osborne’s last budget. Obviously they would have liked to hike the rent up again as they have done every year since taking control of the borough. But this year we are seeing a reduction due to Conservative government policy. Obviously, being a disingenuous bunch, Ipswich Labour would like to put some spin on it claiming the reduction is because they care. But as the facts behind the reduction are being spoken of in this post, such spin is going to be difficult. It is this Conservative government that is helping working people in Ipswich and not Ipswich Labour.

Tories helping the poor? Don’t be stupid.
