💥 This is what happens when you question having to choose between supporting small businesses & pulling children out of poverty... Why are elite interests & tax dodging corporations a given & our communities' needs negotiable? Our ED on Jeremy Vine show.

⁉️ Why are many of the richest Brits missing from the list of the highest taxpayers? Funny how that works.

The Sunday Times Tax List dropped & we’ve got a couple questions… Why did only 100 people pay more than £11m in tax when the UK has 156 billionaires? Why are some worth £10bn+ still paying less than £11m? & why does Ed Sheeran always make the list? Lets find out...🧵1/10

Big polluters are fuelling the climate crisis. The fair tax treaty being negotiated at the UN could help make these polluters pay up for their damages, as well as change the rules to tax the super rich and end international tax dodging. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

🚨 BREAKING: UK govt back‑tracking on long‑developed regulations to tackle tax dodging by small businesses — currently costing the country an estimated £28.2 billion a year. Why does this government not seem to care about tax dodging? 🧵1/7

This blog by @taxjusticeuk.bsky.social was inspired from our recent webinar 🎥(youtu.be/tfOyV34lgmI) Watch the Rt Hon @liambyrnemp.bsky.social explain why extreme wealth fuels inequality 👇

50 families own more wealth than the poorest half of the UK combined 💷 👇 In the latest blog, Joe Wright, Policy and Advocacy Manager at @taxjusticeuk.bsky.social, sets out how a wealth tax could be practically designed and implemented 🔗 www.radixbigtent.org.uk/news-comment... #WealthInequality

NEW: Polling from #TaxJusticeScotland shows FIVE TIMES as many Scots back reforming the unfair Council Tax in the next Parliament as oppose it. All political parties must commit to a fairer system. Read More: bit.ly/TJSCTPoll

Taxing wealth fairly isn’t just about raising revenue — it’s about building a fairer and healthier economy, democracy and society. Catch our very own Jake Atkinson breaking it down on the Henry Bonsu show, on Times Radio.

Tinkering around the edges isn't going to fix the injustices at the heart of our tax system. Our Director, Faiza Shaheen, giving the Government a reality check on BBC Politics Live this week.

“This government is not taking inequality in this country seriously enough.” Our Director, Faiza Shaheen on BBC Politics Live this week, breaking down how special interests lobbying the government for the super-rich are drowning out everyone else.

We can’t have a wealth tax because **checks notes** the rich will use their children as money‑mules to smuggle cash to Morocco. 🩲💸✈️ 🇲🇦 A non‑AI‑generated clip (I promise) of 🎩 Lord Bethell (a.k.a. Cash’in Underpants) on BBC Politics Live explaining why a wealth tax wouldn’t work. 1/3

"The problem is is that wealth is magnetic — it attracts other wealth." - PMUK's Brian Eno #TaxTheSuperRich

Brian Eno: anyone who'd leave the UK because they have to pay a bit more tax arent the least community minded Lord Bethell: "but they are the wealth creators" "They're not the wealth creators. The wealth creators are the people who make things.. who keep society running" Well said Brian!

Reminder: those resisting calls for greater taxes on the super-rich are a tiny, greedy minority. The majority of the wealthy know that ballooning inequality is wrong, and unsustainable. The problem is that the greedy minority are buying our politics. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/business/202...

🥧 The super‑rich are at Davos carving up the world, and leaving the rest of us with crumbs. The 12 richest people in the world now have more wealth than the poorest 4 billion. So, we popped into @oxfamgb.bsky.social's pie shop, where everyone gets a fair slice, to talk about a #WealthTax.

Davos starts today. But it’s been seven years since Rutger Bregman said everything that needed saying… and the rich and powerful are still pretending like they haven’t heard a thing.

Billionaires are getting richer and capturing our politics, undermining democracy. @oxfaminternational.bsky.social's global inequality report - out today to coincide with #Davos - has a clear call to action: we must resist the #RuleOfTheRich. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

"Our government doesn’t tax the ultra-rich enough not because it can’t, but because it doesn’t want to." A great read from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social bit.ly/4pE9Xlv

Given the mainstream coverage of immigration, this headline will surprise many. But the truth is that net migration is close to zero — and could even go negative this year — which would have profound impacts on life in the UK & dent the govt coffers. 🧵Here's why? 1/9

The UK & other rich countries just gifted U.S. corporations’ a major exemption from int'l tax rules. The UK was already haemorrhaging an estimated $9 billion a year to tax-cheating US megacorps. 🧵Here’s what the latest capitulation to Trump’s bullying means... 1/9

🐱📈 Happy Fat Cat Day! We’re less than a week into January and FTSE CEOs have already earned what the average worker will make in the year. And if a 113:1 pay disparity feels outrageous, remember: on average the richest 10% pay less of their income in taxes (39%) than the poorest 10% (48%) too.

📣 New York setting the tone for 2026, on day one. #TaxTheRich. Bernie Sanders electrified the crowds at Zohran Mamdani's inauguration with a clear message: invest in our communities by making the super rich and corporations pay their fair share. We're in.

Don't be duped into anger by the billionaire‑owned press ⚠️ 70% of cash from scrapping the two‑child limit will go to kids with at least 1 parent in work. The problem is wages (often paid by mega‑profitable corporations 💼) are too low to live on. #TaxTheSuperRich

🧐 A lot of powerful voices want you to think a wealth tax is some wild, untested idea. It’s not. In fact they already have them in 🇫🇷 France to 🇳🇴 Norway, 🇪🇸 Spain, 🇨🇭Switzerland, and beyond.

We said it before the Budget. And we're still saying it. 🏠 The mansion tax is a policy in the right postcode but it's the wrong address. It won't raise enough + it's messier and less targeted than a wealth tax. Caitlin Boswell, from our team, broke it down on BBC Politics Live.

🤞We get another shout out in Starmer's keynote conference speech this year. Hopefully he'll be a bit more complimentary, but we'll be making sure he can't ignore us at least! Let's make 2026 the year of the #WealthTax

This is what we're up against. The govt is taxing the rich… but its still letting the super-rich get away with hoarding obscene levels of wealth. In 2026 we have a clear choice: mega yachts for the mega rich or care for our communities. Follow us to fight for our communities.

📅🔥 One of our favourite moments of 2025. 📺 Watching our ED Faiza Shaheen make the case for taxing the super‑rich on #BBCQT — and hearing the people of Bradford back it up loud and clear: inequality, not immigration, is the UK’s real problem. 👏👏 #2025Highlights

One of our favourite clips from 2025. 🔥 In case you missed it...Munya nailed it on Newsnight. 🔥 The root of Britain's problems is inequality, not immigration. And the only minority responsible are the greedy, selfish super-rich. #TaxTheSuperRich #WealthTaxNow

Let’s talk numbers...

The richest 0.001% (that's 60,000 people) hold 3x the wealth of the poorest 50% (that's 4,150,000,000 people). It's time to #TaxTheSuperRich. 🔗 www.theguardian.com/inequality/2...

Taxes aren’t just numbers on a payslip — they’re the foundations of our society. 🏥🏫🚆 From healthcare and pensions to schools, housing, clean water and electricity, they shape the world we live in.

Rachel Reeves failed to deliver on wealth taxes at the Budget. But they're still more popular than ever with the UK public. We can’t afford to give up and let the super-rich keep hoarding obscene wealth whilst our country crumbles. That's why we'll keep fighting in 2026.

🤑 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...
