🤑 Ever wonder how the rich keep getting richer, and why the rest of us can’t keep up? The difference is: we work.

🎄This Christmas… one man must choose between super‑rich lobbyists and the people. Keir Knightley stars in #TaxActually. 💌✨

🚨BREAKING 🚨 Trump has put previously-agreed investment in the UK tech industry on hold. Why? Likely to strong-arm the UK into dropping taxes on US big tech firms. 🧵Here’s what you need to know about the tax Trump wants scrapped & why we need to hold firm…

The govt says it’s taxing the super-rich… but it doesn’t seem to know what that means. Last week the Chancellor was asked about her Budget's impact on the richest 1%, she said they only analyse impact by deciles (10% slices of the pop). 🧵Here's why that's a BIG problem... 1/9

Wealth taxes aren't some wild, untested idea. In fact, they already have them in 🇫🇷 France to 🇳🇴 Norway, 🇪🇸 Spain, and 🇨🇭Switzerland. Here's what we can learn from them.

Too many lobbyists spoil the broth. 🍲 @graceblakeley.substack.com explains why govt policy on climate, poverty & growth is such a mess. Instead of a unified approach its a Frankenstein of carve‑outs, sweetheart deals & contradictions — stitched together to please different vested interests.

An energy transition is essential, but it has a cost. The question is who pays & who profits? Ami McCarthy (@greenpeaceuk.bsky.social) told our post‑Budget livestream: workers shouldn’t foot the bill while billionaires cash in. That’s why movements for justice are all united behind a wealth tax.

Matt Wrack (NASUWT) reminds us that change starts with vision and refusing to accept the status quo. Systems are made and re-made by people. ✊ In the 20th century, ordinary people won extraordinary gains & drove inequality to historic lows — by getting organised. We can do it again.

Growing poverty 🤝 Growing corporate profits. Poverty among workers isn’t an accident. It’s the direct result of policies written to keep bosses, bankers & their lobbyists happy. @graceblakeley.substack.com told our post‑Budget livestream: a million hungry children is a political choice.

Every £1 spent chasing wealthy tax dodgers returns £30. Every £1 chasing big corps returns £58. Fran Heathcote (@pcsunion.bsky.social) tells it straight: we can find billions for our schools & hospitals by going after super-rich tax dodgers; but the govt is choosing to let them get away with it.

Westminster’s doors are wide open for fossil fuels, finance & defence lobbyists — but slammed shut for ordinary people. That’s why the Budget serves their interests, not ours. @graceblakeley.substack.com exposing the cartel‑isation of the govt, on our post-Budget livestream last week.

🚨The richest 0.001% (that's 60,000 people) now hold 3x the wealth of the poorest 50% (that's 4,150,000,000 people). Inequality is out of control. #TaxTheSuperRich. bit.ly/4rP4SJm

Every year, $100s billions that should be funding schools, hospitals & social care is disappearing into tax havens to fuel crime, conflict & new private jets. The UK facilitates 26% of this global tax abuse, and has the power to expose it. Demand they act. taxjustice.eaction.org.uk/iP_tax-haven...

💥 "Billionaires’ wealth has more than doubled since 2010. How many of our constituents can say that their wages have doubled, their standard of living has doubled, that their wealth has doubled in that time?" @richardburgon.bsky.social asking the real questions in the Budget debate.

📉 Families are squeezed by shrinking incomes, soaring bills & childcare costs. Social security is an essential lifeline for some. We need to stop demonising those suffering the most from our broken economy, and start rewiring it. Our very own @faizashaheen.bsky.social nails it on GMB.

There’s only one real option to deliver fairness: tax the super‑rich. But there are plenty of ways to do it — capital gains, dividends, buybacks, wealth management, and more. @2615125lO9293 Long‑Bailey MP hit the nail on the head in the Commons budget debate

💡 Social security isn’t a burden — it’s an investment. Ensuring children are clothed, housed, fed, and ready for school isn’t just a moral necessity — it pays for itself in the long run. 🎙️ Our ED, @faizashaheen.bsky.social makes it clear on Good Morning Britain.

"It seems like the banking industry's lobbying paid off." 🎯 Bobby Dean MP got it spot on in the recent Commons debate about the Budget— the govt might have taxed the top 10%, but those with serious money, the 0.1%, the banks and the big corps were the real winners, AGAIN.

No child deserves to go hungry. Full stop. But you should know despite all the headlines ⚠️ 70% of cash from scrapping the two‑child limit will go to kids with at least 1 parent in work. 💰 We can afford to lift kids out of poverty if we just tax the super‑rich. 🎙️ @faizashaheen.bsky.social on GMB.

The super-rich are gloating about the latest Budget after lobbyists sprang into action to kill off measures to tax extreme wealth and massive corporate profits. This is what we’re up against. Can you chip in today to help us fight back? bit.ly/3Y51yMx

Unlike the debunked “millionaire exodus”, Britain’s young workers really are leaving in droves— 174,000+ since March 2024. The motor of our economy walking away is a crisis that really should worry us. 🧵So, why are they leaving and how can we stop it? 1/9

What's a £7.5k mansion tax to someone living in a £175M Hyde Park penthouse? 🤑 The govt's "taxes on the rich" have hit the 1%, but they are designed to protect the 0.1%. @faizashaheen.bsky.social breaks it down on BBC Politics London.

Every year, $100s billions that should be funding schools, hospitals & social care is disappearing into tax havens to fuel crime, conflict & new private jets. The UK facilitates 26% of this global tax abuse, and has the power to expose it. Demand they act. taxjustice.eaction.org.uk/iP_tax-haven...

Rachel Reeves is billing the #Budget2025 as the long overdue tax rise on the rich — yet Spears Magazine, the glossy read “for ultra high net worths & their advisers”, is celebrating how little impact it’ll have. 🧵So what's spin and what's really in the Budget? 👇 1/13

👏 Thank you to everyone who took action and emailed your MPs to say NO to new tax breaks for big tech.👇

🌐Also hidden in today's Budget: the UK is keeping its Digital Services Tax, despite Trump tariff threats. This will safeguard £4.4-5.2bn of tax revenues from the biggest tech companies over this parliament. Read TaxWatch’s DST myth-buster here: taxwatchuk.org/new-taxwatch... #budget25 #budget #tax

Our comment on the Budget, in the Guardian.

👀💼 The govt will deliver its new #Budget2025 today at 12:30. With so many policy announcements expected, and so much spin, it can be hard to know what it all means. So, let us help you cut through the noise with our live reaction. Just keep you eyes on this thread 👇 1/???

It's not just the Budget this week. Representatives from the British Overseas Territories are in London to meet with the Government. This is crucial moment to make progress on introducing transparency registers to crack down on international tax abuse. 1/2

👀💼 Tomorrow is the #Budget2025, where we find out whose side the govt is on... For 6 months, we’ve had tax policies leaked & drip-fed through the press, from income tax rises to a mansion tax. This triggered immediate backlash, with lobbyists pushing back... 1/3

🌍 Corporations are wrecking our planet, hiking prices on essentials, raking in massive profits — and still pocketing government subsidies. That’s why we stand with Hannah Martin and @gndrising.bsky.social in demanding tax justice for climate justice at the Budget. ✊

Extreme inequality is poisoning democracy, stalling growth, and fuelling division. At the upcoming Budget, the Government can stop the rot if they tax the super-rich, end the cuts and protect public services. Demand a budget for the 99.9%. taxjustice.eaction.org.uk/budgetforthe...

👀 What will the Chancellor choose? 👀 More mega‑yachts for the mega‑rich…Or real care for our communities? It's time to demand a budget that works for the 99.9% — not just the 0.1% 👉 cutt.ly/xtrPUh7Q

👩‍⚕️👨‍🚒🤵 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.

Today we delivered over 724,000 petition signatures to the Treasury, demanding the govt tax the super rich at the next budget. We were joined by millionaires who are happy to pay & here to stay, by public service workers and by a huge collection of civil society organisations.

🚨 BREAKING: Of the 7,600 new HMRC staff the govt promised to hire to crack down on tax dodging… ...only 26 are actually trained and in post. The staff power was meant to recover over £15billion in revenue from tax dodgers.

Quick, someone tell Spain a wealth tax is anti-growth and will destroy their economy. www.ft.com/content/6b8d...

The tax system is tilted towards polluters and the super-rich who are fuelling the climate & nature crisis. They profit. We pay the price. We can rewrite the rules so everyone has access to: 💡 Great public services 🌱 Clean air 💧 Thriving nature 🌍 A safe climate

Kelly hitting the nail on the head about why we need to #TaxTheSuperRich

These guys are one of the only voices in the UK economics/tax space campaigning for higher taxes on wealth. They're asking for donations to keep doing this work.

Trump’s pressuring the UK to axe the 2% Digital Services Tax (DST) on tech giants like Amazon, Meta and Google — one of the few taxes they actually pay. Scrapping DST could cost us £5.2bn. Starmer is apparently ready to cave. 📧 Write to your MP today. taxjustice.eaction.org.uk/protect-the-...

The problem of inequality has become so pressing that it needs coordinated global action to address it, a group of over 500 economists and scientists said today.
