Billionaire wealth has risen 3 times faster in 2024 than 2023 according to @oxfamgb.bsky.social with 60% coming from either inheritance, cronyism and corruption or monopoly power.
This gross level of wealth hoarding is unjust and unsustainable.
Now is the time to tax the super-rich properly.

As the U.S. shifts into a volatile political landscape targeting critical thinking, I want to share an important reminder to the #booksky community:
The only way to preserve literature is by collecting physical copies.

Again, the World Health Organization is the single most important global entity in preventing, tracking and controlling outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics and is especially important as climate change and deforestation allow pathogens to mutate, become more infectious and spread to new regions

Trump's inauguration should mark a turning point. Time for the UK to stop trying to ride the US's coattails and start working with those who share our values and want the things we want.

1 week today the cross-party Climate and Nature Bill #CANBill is debated in Parliament. Will we have enough MPs there to vote it through? We don't know 😕

👋 Hi Labour. We have an idea...
Rather than taking money off disabled people - some of the poorest people in society - you could tax the super-rich properly and raise billions to help fix our crumbling public services 👍
