Why do we pay so much council tax with an increase despite 0% pay increases?

Food prices have doubled in some cases. I am far worse off than a year ago. Energy prices also through the roof and they are all foreign owned energy companies. Oil prices have dropped yet we still pay through our noses. I think Gordon has something to do with it or that Lord Mandy or both. Racking in the money and squandering it on asylum seekers and foreign aid and expenses.
