When I met Angela Rayner to campaign for change to overly aggressive council tax debt collection, with its unprecedented rapid escalation to balliffs, she nodded like most politicians do. I explained it was destructive for individuals, councils and the economy. She listened more then said she'd change it. I was sceptical. Yet a consultation was launched within weeks and delightfully the change announced within 18mths (its in place from next April) - bullet train pace for politics. I've a rule that if I campaign for a politician (of any party) to do something, and they do it, I say thank you. Its important to recognise it. So thank you so much Angela Rayner for listening and more importantly acting. The changes coming are a great start.
I promised we'd make council tax fairer, and I’m getting on with the job. Too many working people have seen council tax debt spiral before they had the chance to get help. That's why we're introducing more time to pay, clearer warnings if you miss a payment and more support from councils. Thanks to @MartinSLewis and @mmhpi for their tireless campaigning to make this change happen. Here's everything you need to know ⬇️

You know that feeling when you book a flight for 50 quid and somehow it ends up costing 100? Getting seats together, correcting a typo, another charge here and there, it all adds up. When the cost of living is already squeezing people, those endless extras can feel relentless. So we're changing the rules for you. Parents won't need to pay a penny extra just to sit next to their own children. You'll be able to fix any name errors on your booking free of charge. And because the last thing you want once you're on the plane is more stress, we're working with the industry to make sure that disruptive passengers who have been banned from one airline can be banned from flying with other airlines too. I know holidays are expensive and these are small things, but hopefully they'll make your trip just that little bit cheaper and easier. That's exactly the kind of thing I want this government to keep on fixing.

It's now easier to report dodgy shops, as we ramp up our work to tackle illegal activity on the high street. Our improved Report Tax Fraud service on GOV.UK lets you shop businesses you suspect are involved in fraud, money laundering or other criminal activity – helping you join the fight against rule-breaking retailers. All reports can be submitted anonymously. The Financial Secretary to the Treasury, @jamesmurray_ldn MP, shows you how easy it is to report fraud online. It’s closing time for high street crime. Report tax fraud below. ⬇️  gov.uk/report-tax-fraud?&utm… #HighStreet #TaxFraud #HMRC @hmtreasury @mhclg

Hi @10DowningStreet 👋 Seeing as @andyburnham is the new owner of Larry, the Chief Mouser, we thought we'd share some of the benefits of owning a senior cat🐾
