While ordinary families struggle to afford the essentials, the super-rich continue to grow their wealth to ever-more obscene figures, propped up by our unfair tax system. I've written to the Chancellor pressing him to follow the Green Party's example and take urgent action to tax wealth fairly.

So, instead of making men pay the price for rape, they have women suffer and live like this... they place responsibility for rape, on women. If they are raped, again it's their fault... the Taliban have them stoned to death, or marry them off--to the rapist. Give it time. It's where USA is headed.

In 2021, income tax personal allowance was frozen at £12,570. If aligned with inflation, it would now be £16,070. A minimum wage earner in England will pay extra £980 in income tax & NIC in 2026-27. Govt can easily increase personal allowance by £3,000, worth £600 to basic rate taxpayer.
