Sadiq Khan's council tax rise revealed as his bill for Londoners nears £500

- Sir Sadiq Khan has announced his lowest council tax increase for five years - but an average London household will still pay the London mayor almost £500 a year.
Sir Sadiq plans to increase his average “precept” - the amount he adds to bills sent out by each of the capital’s 33 boroughs - by four per cent from April.
This will add £18.98 to a benchmark band D bill, taking the mayor’s share from £471.40 to £490.38.
It is the smallest percentage increase since 2020/21 and almost half as much in real terms as his last two increases, which were of about £38 a year in 2023/24 and again in 2024/25.
The bulk of the extra cash - £14 - will go directly to the Metropolitan police to help to keep 1,300 neighbourhood officers funded by City Hall on patrol and tackle violent crime and robbery.
The remainder of £4.98 will go to the London fire brigade.

London safety is his prime concern. DID I HEAR CORRECTLY?
Yes, that's the doublespeak
The little wimp is a joke
Why do you it say so sarcastically? This man can be 100% trusted, he never lies.😅
Look for the video where he got called it to answer for the increase in knife crime. Every time the woman spoke, Sadiq spoke over her. Another man had to instead ask the question because he refused to listen. Since, in his religion, women don't ask questions. (he does the same with reporters). Then at the end, he essentially said "Yes, knife crime is up 400% but the arrests of black men has also been reduced to single figures. I think the trade off is worth it. The threat of what you asked me is just part in part of living in a major city." When the woman spoke again, he just continued to repeat it over and over until the man leading it adjourned the meeting.
Yes as long as Mussies are safe
"keeping Londoners safe", Seriously ??
If he did his job correctly, then this would not be needed
Why cant he be sacked from office. ? He has done nothing for Londoners except cost them more.
Well the fact they have voted him in 3 times would suggest the majority dont agree with you on that.
@@johndavies4801I wonder who voted for him though and who will benefit from these tax hikes🤔🤔🤔
His knighthood says different his friend stammer thinks he is wonderful As they say love is blind
@@johndavies4801 The majority are Asian and most of them will not be effected as the are social claimers they are his voters.
I dare not comment on this disgusting little man
So wheres all the ULEZ money gone
Plus the daily minimum £3 a go on buses and tubes, if they organised themselves properly they'd be rolling in it.
Where has the furlong money gone?
Ulez mostly impacted migrant owned small businesses, just thought that might be something you would want
@@eyesoddbus is £1.75
@@leehenry5764 Spent at the bookies.
Just like everything else…It’s a scam!!
Odious little "man"
Get rid of him now!
Most hated guy, wild he's in such power in a country that doesn't want him, solely because he's imported in muslim voters... incredible to see London fall in my life time
Meaning: the Muslim voters in London have surpassed the non-Muslim voters which has led to him having being elected. I do not think so. Anyhow, has was voted fairly.
15% Muslim.
So you are making things up.
@@johndavies4801 who are the rest? Ghost. Cheating? Electoral fraud??? All the votes were rigged in favour of him how????? People had been hypernormilized? People had been gaslighted by him? Illuminati have changed votes?????Who are the 85%? Have they been imported from Pakistan???? I do not get it.
He defeated all the candidates and he is the most hated guy in London???????????????????
@@johndavies4801So, he defeated all the candidates and he is the most hated guy in London???
Cheating???? Electoral fraud? The votes were rigged in favour of him???. The mayor- elect with the majority is the most hated guy 😂. Imported voters????
@@MrGhadnaz1 Good blimey me you would say that MrGhadnaz1 never fairly voted in and yes you surpassed the English voters.
Its a shame most Londoners sat on their butts and didn't vote for his opposition last year, stuck with him now.
What opposition??😂
Susan hall running things?😂😂😂
Look into his personal finances because when he leaves he will be a millionaire .
He already is on our money
So he’s increasing the council tax to keep Londoners safe, let’s come back to this in two years and see if knife crime and violence has come down. My prediction is that it will go up, so why not just admit the real reason you are raising the tax?
The real reason is simple, when poverty goes up crimes follow some people find out they can't give up on their old lifestyles and they can't let go or adjust so they turn to crime as a necessary
What a liar
Keeping londoners safe..what a laugh
its Keeping yourself safe
Your security
Don't simply retire from something; have something to retire to. Start saving, keep saving, and stick to investments. Building wealth involves establishing routines, like consistently setting aside funds at regular intervals for smart investments..
Absolutely! Profits are possible, especially now, but complex transactions should be handled by experienced market professionals.
Some persons think inves'tin is all about buying stocks; I think going into the stock market without a good experience is a big risk, that's why I'm lucky to have seen someone like mr Robert L Cox.
Finding yourself a good broker is as same as finding a good wife, which you go less stress, you get just enough with so much little effort at things
Cox demonstrates an excellent understanding of market trends, making well informed decisions that leads to consistent profit
Seeing the future of xrp last year I had to sell my my HELOC I regretted somehow until I met Mr Robert started with $5000 xrp well say less 😊
£500 each to increase funding for police? You what?
How are ordinary people meant to afford this? And stop cooking the figures!
THE
ENEMY
WITHIN......
SUCH A LYING 🐀
He does not understand the cost of living crisis.
There’s no way he’s using that money for policing 😂
Seeing the tories sacked 40 of the police force
Probably he will use it for his diversity thing!
No to get his housing company out of debt more likely
Maybe to create more trans or GLBT officer positions
They can't recruit them because they are obsessed with DEI😂
I wonder if thjs council tax increase will give the met police enough funds to start investigating crime 🤔
Breaks my heart what this man has done to london 😢
Bet you’re not even from London 😂😂
@irfanshaikh9390 wrong born and bred london. Born in st Bartholomew hospital 6 generations including my kids
I can’t afford your new council tax. I’m struggling as it is so we have to leave. Thank you so much and I was born here.
🥱😴😴🥱
This is the man who condemned the policeman for shooting the gangster Chris Kaba. Let that sink in.
Terrible, he should go!👎🏻
£500 pound a year and in London! I pay over 1k per year and I live alone!! Sick!
My rates are £1700 a year in the North West. Why only £500 a year for London?
We all are!!! It’s sick!!
That's an increase 😢
I pay over £2,000 in Lambeth council they’ll be rubbing their hands with glee the rents will go up as well they always do we don’t need a mayor he’s too expensive get khan out
take him out of the game perminately
He's gotta go! Simple!
Illegals and other countries, the money will go on, he really means
Who ever voted for this man should hold your head in shame...
You know who you are
I'm holding my head high ...
@@Phillip-p1eyour obviously a criminal as they all love khan, he keeps them out of jail😂
ANT MIDDLETON for Mayor!
Silly little nobody
How is that guy still where he is I'm pretty sure most things that have gone wrong with london in recent times has been while he's been mayor
So what's happened with the money from the ules fines
Liar, crime has not fallen burglary has not fallen liar liar liar liar liar
What a joker 😂
Tax Tax Tax that’s all he’s about
Have to ask where’s the money, yet he’s reducing the amount of police when there is so much crime especially from immigrants.
We need bands changing
Then why has he been saying London is safe?
If the UK people have the chance to leave the UK to have a better living standard, is the time now 😮
Are they going to look in to how he dealt with rap gangs
Nothing like kick you when your down it joke
Why can’t he pay for it with his ULEZ scam
Stick your happy new year were the sun doesn't shine.
I wonder how much of that extra money will cover the cost of civil action against illegal searches and arrests
GOVERNMENT SPENDING CONSUMERS PAY 😂😂😂😂
Extraordinary, Wars and Deep Pockets of Treasuries, Energy Bills, Food, Enormous Problematic Rises, unwarranted.
More Disaster Looming.
But they have to 2.6 billion to send to Ukraine
Are they wanting people to riot ?
Is this guy for real?
Time to leave London, President Trump/ Elon please can my family come to America? I have family in Memphis, my Sister-in-law.
Memphis? Good luck with that .
Set up a prayer room in your house and say your Muslim, your house will classed as a place of worship and you don’t have to pay council tax
That’s not how it works, but keep living in your fantasy
@@irfanshaikh9390 Muslims who use their living area's within their homes as a place of Worship, are exempt from paying Council Tax.
This however does not apply to other religions.
I can't believe we have him as Mayor of London!?
The poll tax protests made the government to scrap it , we need reduction in everything and lower bills
This all because the torys forced the sale of council house, which meant no more income for local councils.
The Tories? They are all as bad as each other, Labour have just kicked out a whole housing estate of tenants in London, just before the I fault eviction law comes in.
I was wondering why I was seeing police more frequently at my local town centre.😂😂
Stop moaning. You had a chance to vote him out. Twice. You deserve him.
Exactly. I am pissed I voted but no one else I know did excuse after excuse why they couldn't go. Absolute B.S most of my neighbours that I tried to encourage didn't even work FFS
He dint pay council tax,
This country is becoming completely pointless to do anything. No wonder everyone is going on the benefits system. What’s the point in earning money if they just take it? Might as well let them give it to you for nothing
so what's happened to all the money he makes in london with the fines he gets it doesn't make any sense he needs to go and let Ant medldon
Exactly, that's fines, what about the average 5million jube journeys PER DAY minimum £3 x 5million.
Buses, 4.7million trips per day, totalling roughly £29million a day if everyone was actually paying.
As you say where is the money going.
The Govt has set limits on councils hasn’t it? We keep being told we need more police…..somebody has to repair the damage done by Susan Hall’s mob.
Not paying anymore, you destroyed the place i was born, you have taken away my right to drive my pride and joy, i only live now for my children and partner to protect them and other vulnerable people, i fear another poll tax riot coming, but on a whole another level
Where’s the 4 billion you was given for house building
What about the cash cow money from ULEZ and others ? Taxes may go up, but his spending and bankruptcy will carry on. Perhaps he should have saved money from pay rises. Sorry did he say crime, knife crime and other crimes have fallen or is it is less people after crime?
Kick this useless guy from the office and we all should refuse to increased tax.
He's increasing the Police budge to pay his melisha police mates a higher salary, his transport mates are all on £100k. London is cheap though, im Yorkshire and we pay £1500 for a band C. Rip off Yorkshire. Sack him, Londonstan is not safe.
HES NOT KIDDING ANYONE AS THE GOV HAS JUST GIVEN HIM A TON OF MONEY FOR THE COPS
Thid guy hasn't done nothing fir us at all 😡😡😡 show him yhe door get him out why have we got to pay more we don't even have it
Keeping london safe what it's worse than ever .
Right.. statistically next year if violent crime does not decrease then due to this ridiculous increase khan has to go..
Double the CT on unoccupied houses and office buildings and penthouses. Its a kind of Wealth Tax.
If starmer rigs the elections then I will refuse to pay any council tax no representation no tax
Expect the people who voted for him won’t care , they won’t be paying it !
Stop lying man, people will believe you. When a liar uses repetition, the people will believe it.
SADISTIQ
You get what you vote for
More of leprosy for us than anything....
He needs removing, total failure not doing his job, never has done
Vile
Two tier policing there not there for us natives anymore
Anglo saxons aren't britsh isle natives you loon.
Every penny will go to his Muslim friends.
Those are the only 'Londoners' he cares about.
Pay it out of the money you stole in ULEZ
Not just London he affects though does it, bur parts outside of London as well. Due with the powers of TFL with trains, buses, trams, that also go through parts of Kent, Essex, Surrey, Hertfordshire, etc
The government need to limit his powers right now till next election. As he will never resign 😡🤬
Maybe if they didnt do a private funding deal on the Silvertown tunnel they could have kept the profits.
Just how many journeys are made daily on tfl buses and tubes at a minimum of £3 a go, how can they not self fund!?
Why cant he go ,most people are struggling has it is he taxes everthing, what does he do with the money from his office
Well if they cancels local l won't be paying as no councillor representation then im not paying and Im perfectly within my rights not to pay it
Kate bush sang a song called England my lion heart little did she know the lion is now caged and its teeth pulled
England is now a Muslim country
are we paying for the crimes of others.
double robery
All I see is 4ft 9ins of pure arrogance.
Hello 500 quid a year!
