Workers in Scotland have been failed by politicians who refuse to grasp the nettle and scrap the council tax.
It's high-time the Scottish Government seized the initiative and abolished it for good.

More spending on social care in England will be proportionally to the benefit of the Scottish block grant. MSP’s should be focused on reviving the Scottish Government’s shelved promises for a National Care Service.
The SNP tried and failed to sort out social care with the disastrous National Care Service
This is pathetic, desperate grievance mongering.
Social care is Holyrood's, and therefore the SNP's responsibility. Fix it.
Are there really people who think it’s best if racists and far right minded people stay in their houses and in on online chat forums? https://t.co/KntCvDeSG8
The Mirror group are stating the obvious in their enquiries of the House of Lords. However some of their articles include my name, at the same time they refer to payments of £300 per day payable to some Peers. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE IT PERFECTLY CLEAR SINCE MY APOINTMENT TO THE HOUSE IN 2009 I HAVE NEVER TAKEN ONE PENNY.
I’ve never seen a more emotionally driven politician. A National Care Service really is the mission of our generation. If Britain hadn’t wasted so long on failed Tory politics, we’d be in a much better place today.
The Farage Polanski row is really not worth the airtime it is getting. Green man makes silly mistake because he spends too much time on his phone. Reform man sees chance to move attention away from financial scandals which are heralding his implosion. Er. That is it.

NEW: Andy Burnham will make a major speech on the funding of social care tomorrow.
He will also invite Kemi Badenoch and Ed Davey to meet with him to kick off cross-party conversations on reform.
Burnham is expected to say:
“This comes down to a choice. We can carry on passing the problem to the next generation, or we can face it head on and work together to build a care system that gives people dignity, security and the support they deserve.”
He will expedite a commission chaired by Louise Casey which is already looking into reform of social care.
But we don’t expect tomorrow to bring any details on the model he wants to design - this looks to be a long period of consultation and negotiation before we arrive at concrete proposals.

The parallels between the Union Street and Princes Sreet fires cannot be ignored.
Both fires occurred in listed buildings occupied by tat shops which were not paying non-domestic rates, cheating the taxpayer and flouting the rules.
Councils must have greater powers to crack down on these 'rogue businesses'.
