A 2% tax for wealth above £10m would raise £24bn a year for public services & help build a fairer, more sustainable economy That's why I joined 30 cross-party MPs urging the Chancellor to introduce a wealth tax on the very richest & not cut services in next week's #Budget2024

An excellent summary of our 'clunking democracy' in the Commons. The Lords has some similar problems, but some unique ones too!

First introduce by Caroline Lucas - this Bill is a #NoBrainer for anyone concerned about the state of nature and the climate. #CaNBill Thank you National Trust for your wise support! And Zero Hour @zero-hour.bsky.social for championing this Bill ...until it goes all the way to law.

So The Labour Party isn't representing these people, who include me. So can they win another GE?

Nadia Whittome MP ᴊᴀʏ Unless Labour is willing to tax millionaires and billionaires, to the point where they contribute fairly into the structure of the country they have chosen to live in, Starmer will continue to push us all into oblivion at best...

#GoodNews - #ZanesLaw is crucial protection for all of us from the dangers of historic landfill sites, made more acute by the #ClimateEmergency TAZ 👼🏽 🌺

And as former head of energy at DESNZ and Stonehaven director of policy Adam Bell explains in this also very helpful blog, expensive gas is the reason for current high power prices We won't address high power prices if we don't begin with the facts unbalancingmechanism.substack.com/p/foundations-… 3/3
