London boroughs are facing potential average council tax bills of £2,000, with some boroughs like Brent, Camden, Barking, and Dagenham already hitting this milestone due to potential hikes in Sadiq Khan's share of council tax. A five percent rise could force more boroughs like Haringey, Redbridge, Enfield, and Lewisham to impose payments over £2,000 on average Band D households. The Greater London Authority and the Mayor of London have seen significant increases in their spending power. Additionally, MPs are expected to receive a £6,000 pay hike next year, bringing their salaries up to £92,731.
