Rachel Reeves promises "stability for our public finances - the single most important factor in getting our cost of living down."
Under FPTP, we've had:
☑️ 6 Prime Ministers and
☑️ 8 different Chancellors since 2015.
There's no economic stability without fixing our democracy.

The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population.
How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?
They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.

UK govt can save over £20bn a year by ending payment of interest on commercial banks’ central bank reserves.
Subsidy implemented after the 2007-08 crash. Banks are very profitable.
Since 2023, the EU stopped paying interest on central bank reserves.

The UK is losing up to £250m a day in lost tax revenue due to the economic impact of Brexit, House of Commons Library analysis for the Lib Dems suggests.
Brexit has blown a "black hole of [up to] £90 billion a year in the public finances" the party says. Even under lower estimates the hit is ~£65bn

New analysis by non-profit climate group Possible today:
Private jet passengers typically pay less than 1% of the cost of their flights in taxes, compared to 26%-54% paid by economy passengers on standard flights
Loopholes mean private jetters often pay little or no APD, nor fuel duty on kerosene.

Gill’s conviction for taking Kremlin money is yet more evidence of Russian influence in our politics, as the Russia report itself found. So when will Ministers finally investigate this wider interference? Why are we forced to pursue it in court? @carolecadwalla.bsky.social
