It's not about the tax revenue (£24bn isn't that much).

It's about starting to reverse the flow from "up" to "down".

Billionaires, and millionaires, have had a good run.

Now it's time to make life fair for the rest of us.

Labour needs to listen if they want to reverse their polling.
Whilst the rest of us struggle, the super-rich just keep getting richer and richer. 🤑

That's why at this budget, tax rises should be on wealth not work.

29 cases from UK immigrants since 1980.
16 found in favour of the UK Government.
0 cases in the last 5 years.

It's not the immigrants' rights they want to remove.
It's YOURS.

What's up with Farage having multiple jobs?

Rather than the one taxpayers are paying him for.

Extreme inequality is poisoning democracy, stalling growth, and fuelling division.

At the upcoming Budget, the Government can stop the rot if they tax the super-rich, end the cuts and protect public services.

Demand a budget for the 99.9%.

Long wait for one of my favourite shows!
Dr Who not back until Christmas 2026.
While Doctor Who continues in new audio adventures, books, comics and more, it's been announced it won't be back on TV screens until Christmas 2026, with a special episode written by Russell T Davies.

What are they hiding?

Is it the NSfW (Not Safe for Work) content?

Or is it secret advertising / algorithm bias like that used by Cambridge Analytica to sway various elections, polls and ballots?

If you have bites that spread and don't go away, please get it seen by a Doctor.

One of my son's caught it back in the '90s when I left him for an hour in the creche at the Ideal Home Exhibition. The whole family had to be treated, and that head-to-toe Malathion stings!
