Another problem is who pays those taxes. The cost of living crisis made it so you have to earn a much higher salary to get the same standard of living as before, yet the tax brackets haven't been adjusted to match. You shouldn't be in the highest tax brackets just to be able to enjoy decent housing in London. Raising taxes without adjusting the tax brackets would just make that situation even worse.
