Maybe you're doing dry January, Veganuary, or trying something else to live a little better this month. You know who isn't? The richest. The UK's richest produced more carbon in 8 days than 50% of the population use in a year.

The average FTSE 100 CEO is making 113 times the median full-time worker's wage – but why rely on averages? Our calculator can tell you exactly how long it'll take a CEO to get paid your salary 🫵

What do you do when CEO pay is so out of control that your boss is paid your whole year's wage in just 29 hours? Tax it.
High Pay Centre's proposal would progressively increase a company's corporation tax the more the CEOs is overpaid.

As you're reading this — literally right now — FTSE 100 CEOs have just been paid as much as an entire year's wage for the median full time worker. After just a couple of days back. I haven't even cleared my inbox yet.

Wealth in the UK is extremely concentrated at the top: over half belongs to the richest 10%, while the richest 1% control over a fifth by themselves. But the bottom half of the population – nearly 34 million people – have less than 1/20th between them. This is bad for all of us. It has to change.

Billionaires don't need more money next year, but we do. We're trying to raise the funds we need to campaign for wealth taxes, power over our own political and economic systems, and real investment in people and planet.

Inequality is in every part of the UK down to the land under our feet. We need equally deep structural change to fight it: that's why the Equality Trust exists.
We need to raise £50,000 to keep fighting: https://donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05WS000006FaMIYA0?utm_campaign=a05WS000006FaMIYA0-socials

Profiteers don't need your money next year. We do.
We're trying to raise £50k to stay in the fight against inequality and the billionaires trying to impose their whims on our society.
The good news: we're doubling everything donated this week: https://donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05WS000006FaMIYA0

Our system is broken. A tiny number of people have gotten obscenely wealthy at our expense, used that money to warp democracy in their favour, and locked us into crisis.
We need to win this fight – right now, if you can donate, we'll double it.

We should all be worried about the way that inequality is eating away at our communities, society, and democracy. It's led to bad governance, with policy only serving the interests of a narrow elite, and it's led to public trust in our system collapsing.

Combine that with a growing House of Lords and more and more powerful unelected figures shaping policy at the highest levels, and you get a country that's been getting more politically unequal since 2000.
November 28, 2025 at 12:46 PM
The influence of money through big political donations is obvious, and donations of over £250k grew from £7.6m 20 years ago to over £47m today. But we also found that the share of national wealth held by the top 1% is strongly correlated with inequality of power.
November 28, 2025 at 12:44 PM
We found three key drivers of this growing political inequality: money, especially through the growing influence of big political donations; increasing media concentration; and the growth of unelected power in places like the House of Lords.
November 28, 2025 at 12:38 PM
We can all feel the inequality of power in this country. Our study finds it's been getting worse since 2000 as the growing wealth of the super-rich is translating into more and more control over politics. 🧵
November 28, 2025 at 12:34 PM
The sources of the crises in our society – the super rich, oil and gas companies, banks and energy companies – will be delighted that today's budget chooses to protect them and tax us instead.
