When we talk about taxing the super-rich this is what we mean... Only 0.03% of the UK population has wealth of more than £10 million. & someone with £11,000,000 would pay just £20,000 with our Wealth Tax proposal.

When people hear "tax the rich more", they often think we mean doctors, lawyers or directors on six-figure salaries, paying 40%+. But we don't. We're talking about billionaires & multi millionaires, paying lower rates than nurses. Our own Faiza Shaheen sets it straight on LBC.

I'll remember Esther Rantzen for an interview printed in a magazine I read in the dentist's. She was talking about grief and loneliness after the death of her husband. Her comment that she had plenty of people to do something with but now had no-one to do nothing with struck me as really profound.

These anonymous MPs saying it's 'electoral suicide' to tinker with the triple lock. Exactly the type who got us into this mess: unwilling to lead, unwilling to recognise reality for fear of offending voters, unwilling to solve long-term problems if it presents the slightest short-term risk.

Five people climb a gantry in the name of Just Stop Oil and the police shut the motorway, arrest the protesters and imprison them for up to 5 years. Hundreds of people block one of UK's busiest ports in the name of Stop the Boats, and the police do nothing and no-one is arrested. Really? Sigh.

There are 315 'Data Centres' queued up to be added to the UK grid. They will use 73GW of electricity. The current average use for the ENTIRE UK is 24GW. They will use 3x more electricity than everyone in the UK combined. And YOU will be paying their heavily subsidised bills. WHY????

A reminder
As you hear the latest news of Tory greed and corruption from the Covid inquiry, don’t forget that we had THREE pandemic preparedness exercises, the biggest, exercise Cygnus, in 2016. 

Findings showed the UK was scarily unprepared for a pandemic. The Tories didn’t just fail to act on the findings they refused to fully participate in the exercise including making life or death decisions. 

Ultimately, they favoured ideological austerity over replenishing stockpiles. Four years later Covid hit and instead of acting fast they thought about how their donors and mates could profit as our NHS workers used fucking BIN BAGS while attending to patients. 

To add insult to injury the fuckers partied and got coked off their tits in Westminster as millions died and suffered in isolation.

Never forget what those scumbags did.

We’re calling for a wealth tax that would only apply to people who have above £10 million in net assets. That means around 99.6% of people wouldn’t pay a penny more. So louder for those at the back. A wealth tax targets the super-rich who've been able to opt-out for too long.

A tiny amount of people own more wealth than most of humanity. Gabriel Zucman brings receipts to show how wealth that has been accumulated at the very top has ballooned. In the UK, just 50 families own more than half the population combined. It's time for a wealth tax.

The super-rich aren't getting wealthier because they're working harder. They're getting richer because they get their income from the assets they own. Worse yet, they pay a lower rate of tax on that income than who get their incomes from going out to work for a living.
