Any form of personal tax rise,the public should demand a general election.
If the November 2025 Budget raises personal tax or housing-related levies, the Government must call a general election. Major fiscal changes—income tax, NI, council tax—should not proceed without a renewed mandate. The public deserves a say on economic leadership.

Background
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. Major fiscal changes affecting personal finances should not be implemented without a renewed democratic mandate. The public deserves the right to vote on the direction of economic policy and leadership, especially when the burden falls on working families, renters, and homeowners
