Close to 65k watching the livefeed from the Global Sumud Flotilla off the coast of Gaza. Israel seems to be intercepting right now. All eyes needed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEN2...

Pls stop what you are doing and read this entire report on Israel's murder of journalist Anas al-Sharif and five colleagues in Gaza City. "He characterized Israel’s threats as 'Silence or Death,' and he vowed not to be silent." It ends with his final message. www.dropsitenews.com/p/anas-al-sh...

Some important context to today's news of a "£40bn hole" in government finances. There are two questionable factors to this figure...

Here is another solution to stop the harms of extreme wealth in the UK. And with an upcoming Autumn Budget, Rachel Reeves and Keir Starmer can put it to action. We need a problem solving approach to UK policy. #extremewealth

The 2025 UK Autumn Budget is the perfect opportunity to launch an urgent new political mandate to make our institutions fit for purpose to fairly tax extreme wealth. shorturl.at/g7Fmi @neweconomics.bsky.social @icrict.bsky.social @taxjusticeuk.bsky.social @prospectunion.bsky.social

1/9 Democracy without justice is not democracy. My thread on Gaza, Santiago, Lula, global emergence - and why public pressure is working.

TU @zarahsultana.bsky.social. “I didn’t get into politics to make peoples lives worse. I didn’t get into politics to be complicit in genocide. Im going to do everything I can to stop those things.” The kind of moral compass that sets apart true progressive political leadership ❤️ shorturl.at/TlZfd

My latest blog for @neweconomics.bsky.social on how a modern and fairer UK tax system must be directed at extreme wealth, not further squeeze workers’ salaries. neweconomics.org/2025/07/you-...

Brilliant piece by @hollies.bsky.social @neweconomics.bsky.social debunking the 'big fat myth' of millionaires leaving the UK if political leaders pursue a fairer tax system for us all! A better, fairer, more resilient UK would be a magnet, not a discouragement, for the (right kind of) wealthy.

New tariffs by the US come as Brazil tries to chart a fairer economic path. But the real threat isn’t a trade fight; it’s how extreme wealth is meddling in politics and undermining democratic principles to keep old elites in power (Trump using Bolsonaro’s legal battles as a trade negotiation card).

Not one but two incredible women I got to hang out with this week in Sevilla ❤️ some people can reach a certain level of fame and status and remain graceful, giving and kicking ass all at the same time. Thats @jayatighosh.bsky.social and @magdalenasepulveda.bsky.social

More tax justice and less inequality. Thats what it’s about. So proud to see my country’s leadership fighting for justice in the global stage and pushing to #taxtherich ❤️

Brazil & South Africa with Spain for a fairer economy shorturl.at/fCTU3 whilst the G7 carries on holding us back, exempting US multinationals from the global minimum corporate tax shorturl.at/QCHYm time to follow the #magneticsouth @icrict.bsky.social @taxobservatory.bsky.social @oxfameu.bsky.social

Today, Spain and Brazil launched a plan here in Seville to supercharge global and national taxes on the super-rich. This is a bold move by progressive leaders not afraid to challenge extreme inequality and reclaim social cohesion. Is this the start of a new wealth era? #taxtherich #extremewealth

New analysis by @highpaycentre.bsky.social indicates that excessive CEO pay is now a structural feature of our economy. The disparity between FTSE350 CEOs and the lowest-paid workers has been growing persistently over the past five years, with only a small pandemic-related dip.

My latest essay introduces Global Emergence as a new theory of change rooted in justice, ecological constraint, and historical repair. Elite-led multilateralism is unable to resolve current crises, but distributed realignment is already underway, led by the Magnetic South rb.gy/fvbrg9

As Canada hosts #G7 this weekend, I hope @mark-carney.bsky.social is listening to the majority of Canadians across class divides calling for a fairer tax system. @patmillscanada.bsky.social It would be great to see Canada join the intl coalition on wealth taxation. @taxobservatory.bsky.social

Great new report out by @1alexhemingway.bsky.social outlining why the new Canadian government should commit to a wealth tax for a fairer economy. "It provides the opportunity to ensure that working-class people who create this country’s wealth actually share in it."‬ bcpolicy.ca/2025/06/04/w...

For those asking how people can come together despite the odds, how we can put resources, time and love into bridging gaps btw the reality of people's lives, research, policy & politics through respect, inspiration and a commitment to transformative change. My brilliant colleague Molly-May Smith 👇

👉 Our new @jrf-uk.bsky.social and @lseinequalities.bsky.social report finds that foregrounding the unfair political influence that extreme wealth can buy in narratives about wealth inequality increases support for higher taxes on the rich. With @michaelvaughan.bsky.social and Annalena Oppel.

The #SpendingReview may appear 'fiscally prudent', but it’s taking place in an era of uncontrolled billionaire wealth. This @equalitytrust.bsky.social report equalitytrust.org.uk/evidence-bas... underlines how wealth is a profound societal issue that demands both moral and policy attention.

Absolutely thrilled that Faiza is joining TJUK and bringing her amazing experience and commitment to a fairer economy to the tax justice movement. Cant wait to work together again ❤️

New campaign to follow @sharethewealthuk.bsky.social by the amazing @cliffordsinger.bsky.social and Huw Jordan. Exposing the harms and risks of extreme wealth and raising solutions for a fairer and more sustainable economy and society. 👇

Really great to see @theguardian.com piece by Amelia Hill bringing diff perspectives on the harms of extreme wealth. An Extreme Wealth Line – the point at which excessive wealth causes unjustifiable harm – gives a framework for policy makers to put extreme wealth on the public agenda.

As UK public investment and social protections for the most vulnerable in the UK and around the world are being cut, the National Audit Office estimates we are underestimating tax avoidance by the wealthiest. #taxtherich www.theguardian.com/business/202...

The @ec.europa.eu study of wealth taxation is welcomed, but it must be backed up by concrete policies, including exploring an #extremewealthline as a tool for democratic engagement and wider policy reform. My piece with @sebmang.bsky.social for Social Europe: www.socialeurope.eu/how-the-bill...

Last day on our #biggive campaign to double your donation! We need to stop wealth hoarding! The extreme wealth line has the potential to be a game changer for us as a society to tackle unchecked wealth and power, to be more explicit about how much growth, at what cost, for whom?

This is a great piece by @sethdklein.bsky.social at an important political moment for Canada. We need to keep building a global coalition to #taxthesuperrich because that’s a fundamental part of a fairer economy and a lifeline for crushed democratic values www.nationalobserver.com/2025/04/24/o...

Help us this week to keep building pressure on world leaders to tackle the harms of extreme wealth to us all and our planet! 👇🏽

Insightful day yesterday hearing about diff countries experiences of wealth taxation. Broad agreement we need to tackle extreme wealth inequality, we need more diverse minds to plan out fair and practical solutions.

The accumulation of sky-high profits in the hands of 20 energy firms whilst most of us get higher bills or are stuck in fuel poverty is just unacceptable. We need politicians and regulators to act on a @neweconomics.bsky.social #NationalEnergyGuarantee neweconomics.org/2023/04/the-...

“Taxing wealth & redistributing it, fixing our crumbling infrastructure ... we could find ourselves in a better country”   At the @waronwant.bsky.social Tax the Super Rich rally, we spoke to attendees & @hallsara.bsky.social @taxjusticeuk.bsky.social on hopes & fears for the Spring Statement (1/2)

Balancing the books on the backs of disabled people is not just unfair; it’s cruel. A million disabled people stand to lose vital support, while the wealthiest are protected. This isn’t necessity, it’s a choice—and it’s the wrong one. #SpringStatement

Reeves is right - the world has changed. So why won’t she change her strategy to reflect it? Obsession with arbitrary fiscal rules & ruling out wealth taxes is political choice that’s causing huge pain as well as laying out the welcome mat for populist Reform UK #SpringStatement

The Chancellor must listen to the wide range of voices outlining real solutions for a fairer economy and society and change course in this #SpringStatement - it does not have to be this way!

@garyseconomics.bsky.social smashing as always. ‘Build build build’ keep building power for a just economy and we will win! #taxtherich

LISTEN UP 📣📣 The UK government is slashing welfare payments by £5 billion while inequality is rising - and the wealth of the super-rich is skyrocketing. We're here outside the treasury today, ahead of the governments spring budget, to say: ❌ No more cuts to public services ✅ #TaxtheSuperRich!

Come down to 1 Horse Guards Road - we need a different type of economics. Cuts on essential services and economic burden on the poorest and most vulnerable are a political choice #taxextremewealth @waronwant.bsky.social @patmillsuk.bsky.social @taxjusticeuk.bsky.social ✊🏽

Jane McAlevey is an inspiration for those working for economic justice. Grateful to have learnt directly from her the theory & methods of organising for power. Sad to hear about her passing last year. Event in Leeds 👇 this wknd to honour her legacy 💛 www.ellabakerorganising.org.uk/jane-mcaleve...

Thrilled about our first public event last week exploring an extreme wealth line for @neweconomics.bsky.social and @patmillsuk.bsky.social TU to @ingridrobeyns.bsky.social, @deschuttero.bsky.social and @garyseconomics.bsky.social for joining us for such an important discussion.

Fantastic turnout for a timely discussion of Extreme Wealth at @lseinequalities.bsky.social event this evening. Here is the report that we did with @patrioticmillionaires.org on what rich people & policymakers think about an extreme wealth line neweconomics.org/2025/01/expl...

Legendary actor Brian Cox supporting our call for a wealth tax in @theguardian.com “Governments must address the obscene political capture we are witnessing. One simple way to do this is to tax the super-rich.”

Some #positivenews incl coverage of Spains #wealthtax and growing economy @patmillsuk.bsky.social 👊 A better way to fund defence and 🇺🇦 than salami slicing benefits. www.positive.news/society/good...

You would have to get £3600/hour, every hour, for 665 years to reach the average wealth of the ten richest people in the UK: £21 billion. The Govt is now planning to make billions in cuts to the poorest. It should tax the super rich instead. Take action with us: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

According to polling by moneytalksresearch.org last year, in the UK, just 17% of people feel they understand their tax system very well. But still, the majority of people (60%) support a wealth tax, and 72% of people support a proposal for a 2% wealth tax on the richest 3,000 people.

This does not need to happen! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Here are ten tax reforms and closed loopholes to raise over £60 billion in a single year, including #taxthesuperich taxjustice.uk/wp-content/u... @neweconomics.bsky.social @taxjusticeuk.bsky.social @patrioticmillionaires.org

When fascist moves begin to manifest in earnest, the opportunity for its rise was already being established for a while. You don't try and kill fascism by playing its game; you kill the opportunity that allowed it to grow.
