The US is now allied with Russia to lower the price of diesel, which is sky-high because of its war against Iran, which is being supported by… Russia. Make it make sense!

We're telling the company behind Tefal - SEB - to phase out forever chemicals - or risk a lawsuit. We don't think SEB is doing enough to address the health and environmental risks of using forever chemicals. SEB has 3 months to commit to transition away from forever chemicals or face legal action.

No, the UK isn't a poor country (its the 19th richest). No, we're not suggesting we "frisk" people at airports. No, the rich aren't scared of a tax they can easily afford. & No, we shouldn't base policy on fabricated data.

Britain can’t rebuild on vibes. It needs investment. That means getting serious about the Tax gap. Because right now £59Billion— enough to pay for free school meals AND affordable childcare AND build 1.45M social homes— is being lost to non-payment. 👉 bit.ly/4z9JQrK

We all know tax goes up the more you earn... right? 🤔 Not quite. For most people, yes. But at the very top, something strange happens.. Average tax rates paid: 💷 Top 10% → 39% 💷 Top 1% → 37% 💷 Top 0.1% → 34% 💷 Top 0.01% → 30% And 1 in 4 of the ultra-rich pay 20% or less.

The ability to pour hundreds of millions of pounds into a loss-making TV channel, bent on wrenching British politics sharply to the right, is yet another of the ways in which extreme wealth is trying to remake UK democracy. It needs to be part of any serious conversation about political funding.

Our response to Andy Burnham's Labour Party Conference speech 💬 #TaxTheSuperRich
We welcome the Prime Minister's vision to bring hope back to our country and communities.
And we repeat our longstanding message: we're ready to play our part by paying our fair share, so Britain gets the investment it needs to make that vision a reality. 
This country helped to build our success. So millionaires like us must be taxed more. It's our turn to step up first and help build a better future for everyone.
