The figures are taken from the Telegraph (which the article says is based on Tory analysis): https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2023/03/28/council-tax-labour-80-pounds-more-conservatives/ These figures are based on band D properties which is an inaccurate representation: https://www.channel4.com/news/factcheck/factcheck-do-labour-or-the-conservatives-charge-lower-council-tax-in-england A better measure, average council tax per dwelling, shows labour councils charge £329 less.

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1647514716334436352

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
