Additional details

If the November 2025 Budget raises personal tax or housing-related levies, the public should demand a general election. We call on the Government to commit to a general election if the November 2025 Budget introduces any form of personal tax increase—including income tax, National Insurance, council tax, or housing-related levies. These measures would compound financial pressure on households already facing high living costs, mortgage stress, and inflation.
