We hope Bernie Sanders is right, because wealth taxes are about more than money. They are an essential step to tackling the extreme wealth & runaway inequality threatening our democracies, our planet, our economies & our societies— from California to Coventry. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

🎺For the 1st time ever, a reigning monarch has published their tax accounts… Well, some of them. 👀 Despite the fanfare, this is only 1/3 of the story. But as our very own Joe Wright made clear on Sky News its enough to confirm what we already knew: taxes work differently for the rich & powerful.

🏠❤️ Houses should be homes NOT piggy banks for dirty money. 🐷💰 The UK should have been discussing this at a major global summit this week, instead it's delayed until December. Thanks to MPs like @rebeccalongbailey.com for demanding better. Visit taxjustice.uk/campaign/dir... to act now. 🕵️‍♂️

Today the UK should have been hosting a major global summit on dirty money— instead it’s been kicked 6 months down the road. Thanks to MPs like Andrew Mitchell MP calling out the inaction at a recent debate. Visit taxjustice.uk/campaign/dir... to act now.🕵️‍♂️

Burnham is the clear frontrunner to replace Starmer. So, where does he stand on taxing the super-rich? Well, luckily Louisa Munch asked him just that, back in November, when he came down to see the @patrioticmillionairesuk's bus tour. #wealthtaxes #ukpolitics

The govt pledged to raise £8.8billion a year by 2029-30 by going after taxes, currently going unpaid. Today’s figures show they have a long way to go. But we know investing in tax compliance is worthwhile: every £1 spent on it last year raised £23. mirror.co.uk/money/abhorr...

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 💸 The UK lost out on £59.2bn in unpaid taxes last year— that means 6.4% of all tax owed was avoided, evaded, or accidentally unpaid. That’s according govt’s new Tax Gap report (2026): www.gov.uk/government/s... 1/3

We need more than a new captain on the same sinking ship. Whoever the next PM is must chart a new course: tax extreme wealth, crack down on tax dodging mega‑corps & cut big‑money out of our politics. ✍️ Add your name to out this message on their desk on day 1. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/de...

We're getting a new Prime Minister. Does that mean we're getting a wealth tax? Here's what we learnt about frontrunner Andy Burnham's tax plans from the recent by-election. 👇 taxjustice.uk/blog/what-wo...

Burnham is one step closer to Westminster. But would the potential new PM be the one to rein in the mega-corporations, tax the mega-rich, and finally close the door to their lobbyists? Check out our analysis of everything tax this week: taxjustice.uk/blog/what-wo...

This is why it matters that the govt has pushed its illicit finance summit back 6 months... In that time £400bn in dirty money could wash through the UK’s networks. That hurts all of us. Thanks to Steff Aquarone MP & every MP keeping the pressure on. Find out more: taxjustice.uk/campaign/dir...

Zucman is spot on. Extreme wealth is a threat to democracy & "it is time to break decisively with the perverse logic in which retirees, the poor or immigrants are expected to balance the budget, while the rich live tax-free in a parallel society." 📖 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Great, we have a trillionaire now. So, when does it trickle down again? #WealthTax now. taxjustice.uk/blog/1000000...

The UK does have a 2‑tier tax system. A pay‑what‑you‑want deal for the super‑rich & a make‑up‑the‑gap deal for everyone else. But Reform don’t have a plan to fix it. This policy just distracts from their billionaire backers by pitting low‑paid workers against each other. 🧵1/4

Why are our public services struggling? "...while 99% of us are paying, in total, 40% to 50% tax on our incomes, billionaires are paying a rate equating to 25% at most. As for wealth, the situation is much worse." www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

A trillionaire? In this economy? 🤑

One man now holds more wealth than the poorest 46% of the planet. That's not a success story, it's proof that our political, economic & social system is fundamentally rigged & has to change. Join the movement to tax the super-rich: taxjustice.uk/sign-up-to-o...

What do Makerfield residents want? What a surprise... when asked, like the rest of the country, they want: ✅ A #WealthTax to fund better public services ✅ A cap on political donations to stop the super‑rich warping our democracy It's time the govt acted. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Maybe Jeff was right that doubling his taxes wouldn’t help… but only because he doesn’t seem to pay any. New accounts show Amazon UK Services pulled in £8.2bn revenue and £355m profit last year, but somehow paid £0 in corporation tax. What’s double nothing again? www.mirror.co.uk/money/amazon...

UPDATE: Now we know that before this £11million for Reform, 6th richest Brit Christopher Harborne also gave Farage an undeclared £5 million gift. Sounds legit. Had enough of our democracy being bought up and bent out of shape by billionaires? Us too. Visit taxjustice.uk/NotForSale to act now.

Is Hungary about to introduce a wealth tax? Reports suggest the new Prime Minister will look to tax Hungary's wealthiest people as a "sign of social justice and solidarity in a functioning and humane country” www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

The UK's illicit finance summit has been delayed until December, but we're not stepping back. Because in that time, around £400bn could move through the UK's dirty money networks. taxjustice.uk/blog/how-big...

🌴⛔ It’s clear the govt won’t end tax havens unless we make them. We’ve built a People’s Lobby — 100s of thousands signing, 10s of thousands lobbying MPs — and we’re getting close. Now we need to turn tough talk into action. Act now: actionnetwork.org/letters/expo...

It takes some nerve for a man on £5,093/hr to tell the 19‑year‑olds keeping his business running & producing over £1BN profit, that £10.85/hr is “unaffordable.” But Next CEO Simon Wolfson— Tory peer & major political donor— is doing just that...🧵 1/x 📖 bbc.in/43H9wOG

Here we go again. Household energy bills are expected to rise by more than £200 a year from July. www.theguardian.com/money/2026/m... As another crisis bites, we must refuse to pay AGAIN so the super‑rich can keep their yachts afloat 🛥️ you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ra...

Oops, he just said the quiet part out loud: cutting taxes for fossil fuel giants to l̶o̶w̶e̶r̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶r̶ ̶b̶i̶l̶l̶s push their profits higher. We say tax excess profits, cut bills, build renewables, break free from fossil fuel doom-loops. Agree? Act now: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ra...

The UK’s tax code lets the richest pay less than workers. It’s time to close the loophole. Equalising Capital Gains with Income Tax would finally tax wealth like work. Our very own Joe Wright breaks down why right now the maths, and the morals don’t add up, on GB News.

We've been saying the UK has a big dirty money problem. Now we know how BIG! New research from our friends @thefinancelab.bsky.social has exposed that around £325 billion from financial crime, money laundering, corruption, illegal trade & tax dodging flows through the UK every year. 1/x

When we say “tax the super‑rich”, people sometimes think we mean them. But unless you're very lucky— we really don't. The Wealth Tax we're advocating would be on assets over £10 Million. Who has that kind of money? Just 0.4% of the country.

If 75% of us want a Wealth Tax (& 75% of UK millionaires would be happy to pay), why hasn't it happened yet? taxjustice.uk/blog/whats-r...

As the Westminster drama continues... Let's not get lost in the sauce. Our problems aren't because of a few bad apples or bad judgements— it's because the system is set up to serve the powerful, not the public. Here's how we change that: taxjustice.uk/blog/how-to-...

Just a reminder: Nobel prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz agrees with us. Asking a Billionaires to live with 995 million won't end civilisation... But runaway inequality might.

Labour leadership hopeful, Wes Streeting, has proposed taxing income from wealth at the same rate as income from work. Tax Justice UK Executive Director, Faiza Shaheen, responds.

Billionaire wealth has gotten wild. Maybe it’s because the richest are all over the party donor list, but nowhere to be seen on the Tax List... #RichList2026 📖 taxjustice.uk/blog/how-the...

Everyone should contribute fairly to keeping the country running. But right now? Workers (generally the poorest) pay higher tax rates than people who make money from owning stuff (generally the richest). That’s why we advocate among other fixes... 🧵1/7

The 350 richest families in the UK now hold £784Bn. That's more than the UK spends annually on healthcare, education, housing, defence & policing COMBINED. While millions struggle, extreme wealth keeps piling up. Britain has enough wealth for everyone to thrive, we just need the courage to tax it.

Don’t fall for the scaremongering tantrums of the greedy few — most UK millionaires are proud to pay and here to stay. 🇬🇧💸✨ In fact... ❗75% of UK millionaires say they are willing to pay more tax to ensure the UK is a place they are proud to live in

Despite what you may hear from a greedy minority trying to scare us away from taxing them, when you actually ask millionaires the vast majority are happy to pay and here to stay. Just check out the latest research from our friends at @patmillsuk.bsky.social 👇

If you didn’t pay your taxes, you’d be hauled in front of a judge, right? So why isn’t that happening to one of the UK’s biggest oil traders— a company that paid just £57m in tax on £730BILLION of UK business that HMRC is chasing for £1.5 billion in unpaid taxes? 🧵1/9

🇬🇧 The UK has a dirty little secret… It’s really good at hiding dirty little secrets. In June, the UK hosts a global dirty‑money summit — but unless they face Britain’s own role, it’ll just be a meaningless talking shop. Head to taxjustice.uk/DirtyMoney to find out more.

Great article from Ketan Joshi. He's spot on. We have to break this doom-loop, by taxing those profiteering from instability, to provide support to those struggling & invest in renewables to bring energy stability & end our fatal dependence. 1/2 📰 shorturl.at/VlI1E

🚨BREAKING🚨 Our friends @taxwatch.bsky.social expose how one of the UK's biggest oil traders, Glencore Energy UK, shifts 80% of its profits to Switzerland & why HMRC can't take them to court in the UK over their outstanding £1.5 billion tax bill. bit.ly/4ulkkxl

Why is Bezos sponsoring the Met Gala? Because the super‑rich insist on owning everything; capturing cultural institutions to trade cash for influence, stockpile power & whitewash their image. These imbalances threaten our democracy & planet. #TaxTheSuperRich
