"The calls from the Liberal Democrats join left-wing think tax the Institute for Public Policy and Research and monetary reform group Positive Money." www.cityam.com/natwe... The #TaxTheBanks movement is growing - it's time for Reeves to listen 👉 bit.ly/taxthebanks#TaxTheBanks

"Just as energy companies weren’t allowed to profiteer from increases to the cost of living, nor should banks be." Our Co-Executive Director Sara Hall outlines the case for a bank tax in @labourlist.bsky.social👇

"We taxpayers are now shelling out billions of pounds to the shareholders of the big banks, simply because interest rates have remained so high" Great to see @libdemdaisy.bsky.social at the Liberal Democrats Conference this weekend calling to #TaxTheBanks Add your name 👉 bit.ly/taxthebanks

The NHS is crumbling, schools are underfunded, energy bills keep rising – & billionaires keep getting richer It’s time to put an end to this catastrophic inequality It’s time to tax the super-rich & use the money to fund the services we all depend on. It's time to #MakeThemPay

We're at @makethempay.bsky.social to tell Reeves to #TaxTheBanks - join us!

The Labour government committed in their manifesto to mandate “credible transition plans that align with the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement”. Will they deliver? @elliemclaughlin.bsky.social outlines our response to the latest consultation 👇

Welcome to Rip-Off Britain. A country remade by privatisation. Our latest project — Who Owns Britain? — explores how a radical experiment transformed our society and shapes your life. 🧵

To mark the launch of our first East & Southeast Asia Green Central Banking Scorecard, we brought together a panel of leading experts on green finance and central banking in the ASEAN+3 bloc. You can read a roundup of their discussion in our latest blog⬇️ positivemoney.org/uk-global/up...

“Taxonomies become useless when they are not used. You should recognise the benefits of forcing banks to use them." Great write-up of our latest report launch, including comments from panellists👆, in Singapore's Business Times 👇 www.businesstimes.com.sg/esg/benefits...

Great to see Simon Opher MP mentioning how we could #TaxTheBanks as a way to combat some of the injustices in our economy 👇

Important work from @ukanticorruptioncoalition.org 👇

Great to see our windfall tax estimates being used in @mirror.co.uk following the Barclays CEO's appalling calls for the government to limit public sector pay rises (after his own pay more than doubled to £10.5 million last year)! www.mirror.co.uk/money/barcla...

"Countries with greater economic power and larger historical contributions to environmental degradation should lead the charge here." Fantastic coverage of our first ever East and Southeast Asia Green Central Banking Scorecard in The Korea Times 👏 www.koreatimes.co.kr/economy/2025...

Great to see political donations continue to come under scrutiny 👏 We found the industry that donates the most is the financial sector, and they undeniably have a huge influence over public policymaking 👉 positivemoney.org/uk/publicati... A cap on donations is long overdue.

Yesterday, the CEO of Barclays outright threatened to cut jobs and reduce UK investment if the government taxed banks in the Budget. But it's already doing both of those things. Tell the Chancellor not to let banks hold our economy to ransom 👉 bit.ly/TaxTheBanks

As climate risks mount, less developed countries in @aseantoday.bsky.social‬ need to adopt green central banking policies, as shown by the East & Southeast Asia Green Central Banking Scorecard—but they need support from their richer neighbours. 🤝

If banks are so worried about investment in the UK, then why are they wasting so much capital on payouts to shareholders? We can all see through this fallacy. If you haven't already, tell the Chancellor to #TaxTheBanks in the Autumn Statement 👉 bit.ly/TaxTheBanks

Our partner site @greencb.bsky.social with @positivemoneyuk.bsky.social published the first East & Southeast Asia Green Central Banking Scorecard, in which China comes top. The strongest area of progress in the region was in green financial regulation. The scorecard 👇

Earlier today we partnered with @positivemoneyuk.bsky.social to launch the East & Southeast Asia edition of the Green Central Banking Scorecard. Read the thread 🧵 below for insights and analysis 👇

We launched our new East and Southeast Asia Green Central Banking Scorecard earlier today, with a fantastic discussion. Thank you to our expert panellists and everyone who joined us. If you weren't able to make it, you can catch up with our recording 👇

1/3 A huge deregulation drive, suppressing wages for public sector workers, and cutting public spending to meet arbitrary fiscal rules will not lower inflation caused by supply-side issues. But the fact that the Chancellor is even raising this to ministers...

🚨 NEW 🚨 Today we launched our brand new report: The East & Southeast Asia Green Central Banking Scorecard This ranks the progress of central banks & financial regulators of 13 countries towards greening their financial system. But why this region? 🧵

The first East and Southeast Asia Green Central Banking Scorecard by our partner @positivemoneyuk.bsky.social is here - analysing green monetary and financial regulation policies in @aseantoday.bsky.social, China 🇨🇳, Japan 🇯🇵 & South Korea 🇰🇷

"These aren't fringe ideas... they are common sense reforms for a modern economy" Good to see @louisehaighmp.bsky.social joining calls for Labour to #TaxTheBanks and a review of the Bank of England's Quantitative Tightening in her piece for the New Statesman yesterday 👇 www.newstatesman.com...#TaxTheBanks

Q: What do @tuc.org.uk, @ippr.org and Positive Money all have in common? A: We're all calling on the government to #TaxTheBanks. Take a look at the TUC's latest proposals for a windfall tax on bank profits 👇

"...a substantial rise in supply could probably only unwind a small fraction of the huge rise in house prices — even with a large increase in housebuilding over decades." Excellent piece from the FT on looking beyond supply to solve the housing crisis 👇

"Banks could be in the Chancellor’s sights after raking in monster profits.... Positive Money is calling for a new surcharge of 38%, in line with the Energy Profits Levy on oil and gas companies" See our proposals to #TaxTheBanks in The Mirror today 👇

Fantastic polling out from @tuc.org.uk today 👇 "66% said they would support a windfall tax on the profits of banks...including nearly three-quarters (73 per cent) of Labour-to-Reform switchers" Labour: it's time to #TaxTheBanks

It's clear: Labour must #TaxTheBanks in the Autumn Budget. Check out our proposal for a windfall tax on bank profits to learn more 👉 positivemoney.org/uk/update/ho...

"We need large amounts of investment in decarbonisation, but without strict, enforceable, science-based criteria, transition finance risks perpetuating business as usual" Our @elliemclaughlin.bsky.social in @greencb.bsky.social 👇

Enough is enough. It's time to make those who have profited from destroying our planet #PayUp

"Positive Money suggested earlier this year that Britain’s biggest four banks were on track to report 14% higher profits in 2025 than in 2024" Taxing these windfall profits is a no-brainer - the proposals from @ippr.org to #TaxTheBanks are very welcome 👇👏

"Big banks are making huge profits while the layman has had to cut back" A tax on banks just makes sense - it's great to see the coverage from @ippr.org's new report calling on Labour to #TaxTheBanks 👇

"The term ‘climateflation’ refers to the rising cost of living caused by the climate crisis." Really important briefing from The Guardian this week 👇 This threat to price stability is something we desperately need the Bank of England to take seriously.

Breaking: The Net Zero Banking Alliance is dead. Voluntary alliances never could solve the climate crisis. They were a delay tactic and a lot of greenwashing cover. It is not in the DNA of the world's biggest banks to voluntarily lead. They must be FORCED to do so. www.wsj.com/articles/net...

These responses to @mickmcateer.bsky.social's brilliant piece for @opendemocracy.net show that the public knows we can't rely on the financial sector to deliver for the wider economy. If only the Chancellor shared their concerns. The full article is well worth a read 👉 www.opendemocracy.ne...

"Every single day, 109 more children are unnecessarily pushed into poverty because of this cap." Fantastic piece from @imranhussainmp.bsky.social on why the government should scrap the two child benefit cap 👉 labourlist.org/2025/... A windfall tax on banks would pay for this several times over.

This is what we mean when we say fiscal and monetary policy aren't working well together. Govt borrowing costs soar but the Bank of England continues to signal that it won't cut rates, keeping borrowing costs high. Rates aren't the right tool for tackling inflation. The BoE must keep cutting them.

The OBR provided cover for George Osborne's austerity policies. If this government actually wants to end austerity, they need to break from it. Dominic Caddick spoke on @lbc.co.uk about our proposal to replace the OBR

"Fossil fuel companies business models are fundamentally incompatible with net zero, and as such they should not be able to access transition finance." Our @elliemclaughlin.bsky.social calls out the loopholes in the *voluntary* guidelines being proposed around companies' transition plans.
