Taxing the rich more is difficult but necessary

UK billionaires added £182,000,000,000 to their wealth last year. That’s £35,000,000 every single day. Their combined wealth is £795,361,000,000. So don't let anyone tell you austerity is a “necessity”. There’s more than enough wealth to fund our NHS, public services & welfare.

So tax breaks for tech bosses and welfare cuts for the disabled

Spot on. Gary Stevenson explaining that taxing the rich isn’t going to be easy but you do it because the alternative is our kids living in poverty. Look around. My govt needs to understand the window to act is closing. Oligarchs & big money are smashing democracy Act now

I’ve finally read Steve Witkoff’s long interview with Tucker Carlson about Gaza and Ukraine, which he’s supposedly negotiating on. It’s embarrassing — very little awareness of the complexities, and shockingly ignorant of detail. Carlson knows even less and can’t challenge him.

Rachel Reeves will be a dark Angel of Cuts and the UK stuck in a vortex of decline unless she increases taxes on the wealthiest. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

"How was your day JD?". "Great luv. I threatened to invade Greenland. Oh, by the way, I'm sending you and the kids there next week". These people are lunatics.

"We'll send our plans straight to the enemy, then we'll do exactly as they say. It's the last thing they'll expect us to do."

Today I took a message to Rachel Reeves at the Treasury: it's time to rebalance the economy. A #WealthTax on multi-millionaires and billionaires would raise £24billion - nearly 5 times as much as the government is trying to save by taking support away from disabled people.

Trump talking about buying Greenland has MAGA confronting their greatest challenge - geography.

At a Reform UK meeting held in Penygraig tonight, I and a couple of mates got kicked out. We asked if we could listen and respond. We wanted to discuss with them & express concerns for our community. It seems they aren’t actually for free speech.

Who is Bankrolling Nigel Farage? It's GB News, owned by a tax dodging billionaires based in Dubai, a tax haven. And Elon Musk and Donald Trump, American Fascist billionaires. These are Nigel Farage's owners.

The Prime Minister of Greenland: don't come here. Every political party in Greenland: don't come here. The people of Greenland: don't come here. JD Vance: I'm going to Greenland! This is why the world is turning their back on the United States and the hate is becoming real

Dangerous air of unreality surrounding today's statement. Both main parties again arguing amongst themselves how much working people and the poor should sacrifice to bail out Britain. Whilst simultaneously saying the wealthiest must be protected. It's politically unsustainable.

They’re committed to hypernormalisation, the Tory Brexit legacy and selling out the poorest whilst protecting the rich by punishing those with broken shoulders. We didn’t vote for this. They won’t just fail, it won’t be forgotten and they’ll never be forgiven by their voters.

Wild that politicians still refuse to acknowledge the elephant in the room. Brexit has been a disaster for trade, growth and exports, and businesses are grappling with the costs and red tape every day. When will we have politicians with a backbone…
