“The question is no longer whether we can afford to tackle poverty, it is whether we can afford not to,” says CEO Tom Burgess in his latest article. 🔗 www.taxpayersagainstpoverty.org.uk/post/uk-pove...

Poverty in Britain is not inevitable. It is the result of policy choices. A wealthy country like the UK should be able to guarantee that everyone can afford the basics of life. Ending poverty starts with recognising it as a political priority. ➡️ www.taxpayersagainstpoverty.org.uk/post/new-rep...

Tackling poverty after it happens is far more expensive than preventing it in the first place. Government policy should focus on poverty prevention as a central economic objective. #NicholsonReport #WealthTax #EndPoverty

Tax policy should reflect a simple principle: those with the greatest ability to contribute should contribute fairly. A sustainable economy depends on fairness as well as growth.

"Crucially, poverty is not just a social ill. It is also an economic deadweight. When a large segment of the population cannot participate fully in the economy – whether due to ill-health, lack of education, or inability to afford job search and training – the country’s productivity suffers."

A great 5m article setting out some basic steps to strengthen the economy whilst pulling millions out of poverty.

The Nicolson Report reflects the perspective of our founder, the late Reverend Paul Nicolson. Paul believed that poverty should never be accepted as normal. Our CEO Tom Burgess talks with Church Action on Poverty about the report: 🔗 www.church-poverty.org.uk/taxpayers-ag...
