We’ve been travelling across the UK with a very simple message ahead of the #SpringStatement:
Our country misses out on £460 million a week without a wealth tax. No cuts. Tax our wealth.
Our country misses out on £460 million a week without a wealth tax. No cuts. Tax our wealth.
This message. Yesterday, today, right through to the Autumn Budget.
I think this is a brilliant work from the Equality Trust, with a smorgasbord of very good recommendations.
Are you happy to let aristocrats and tech billionaires speak for you? If so, you'll love our new report in the Guardian on money, the media, and the House of Lords 👇

Last week the Senedd showed what grown-up politics looks like - with a respectful, 2hr debate on taxing extreme wealth and what that can mean for Wales.
It’s now time Westminster steps up to this long-overdue conversation, whatever tomorrow’s Budget brings.

Ramping up public investment is the best route out of the UK’s productivity crisis.
Our new report finds increasing public investment by an additional 2% of GDP per year would kickstart growth, raise average earnings, and strengthen the public finances.

I’m going to open a little campsite and tuck shop just outside my mum’s home town in the Drôme valley and, as a charming Brit, make loads of ££ off the bizarre number of Dutch people who chose holiday there.

Here's a smashing round-up of yesterday's mamouth petition hand-in
👩⚕️👨🚒🤵 Doctors, firefighters, even the super-rich themselves can see it… so why can’t Rachel Reeves?
It’s time to tax the super‑rich & invest in our collective future.
Yesterday, we delivered over 700,000 signatures demanding that the govt delivers #TaxJustice at the budget.

Lloyd Hatton MP: “It really is very simple. We should be able to assess what tax is owed and then collect it. HMRC must get a firmer grip on the scale of wealth that is currently stashed away offshore... it’s clear we need to bolster its ability to spot and stop tax dodging.”

We want to make sure Rachel Reeves MP sees some important % and ££s:
🇬🇧 80% of UK millionaires support a 2% tax on wealth over £10m
🇬🇧 81% think it’s patriotic to pay their fair share
We’re proud to pay and here to stay
