It’s time for the super rich to PAY UP.

50 families own more wealth than HALF THE POPULATION.

Wealth inequality is out of control. And growing.

At the Budget, the Chancellor could do something about this, make the super-rich PAY UP and get our country back on track.

Your move Rachel.

BREAKING: 80+ young people are outside the Treasury right now to tell Rachel Reeves: make tax the super-rich PAY UP - or step down.

This Budget, it's time for Reeves to pick a side: us or the billionaires.

For wealth taxes to fund investment in a better future.

100s of young people are signed up to take action to demand wealth taxes next week (thanks @ZakPolanski!)

£40 covers one person’s travel into London to make sure all young people can have their voices heard.

Can you chip in to help us pull this off? 👇🔗

BREAKING🚨: @Equinor has resubmitted its application to open the biggest undeveloped oil field in the UK - Rosebank.

In the next weeks, the UK gov will decide to reject or approve this disaster project.

Equinor hasn’t given up, and neither will we. We’re stepping things up.

Rishi Sunak is as rich as the King. But in 2022, he paid the same tax rate as *a nurse*.

Our tax system is broken.

Right now, multimillionaires like Sunak hoard wealth, while 1/3 kids grow up in poverty. Enough.

We're forcing a reckoning.

Ed Miliband is right - the Green New Deal is the fight this government need to be having.

Tackling the climate crisis must go hand in hand with tackling economic inequality.

🚨BREAKING: Time for Rachel Reeves to pick a side and tax the super-rich

Ahead of the Chancellor’s speech today, we’re outside Labour conference demanding Reeves delivers a budget for the people + commits to wealth taxes to invest in our schools, hospitals and climate.

Reminder that expanding airports:

- Mostly benefits wealthy frequent-fliers

- Accelerates the climate crisis that's pushing up bills and making us all unsafe

- Hasn't previously boosted GDP or productivity...

We will fight this disastrous decision.

Our co-director Hannah on Talk TV today on why Kemi Badenoch's desperate attempt to copycat Nigel Farage is bad for us, bad for our planet - and just won't work 👇
September 2, 2025 at 2:53 PM
Kemi Badenoch's latest nonsense announcement on North Sea oil + gas will only serve the super-rich shareholders and oil executives who stand to profit, while the rest of us continue to suffer sky-high bills and watch climate disasters tear through our communities.

Henley and Partners' bogus data was used to fuel an avalanche of false media reports that govt tax changes led to a 'millionaire exodus'.

Today, we showed up at their HQ (alongside special guest Mr Monopoly) to correct the record.

It's time for the richest to PAY UP.

The resident doctors' strike today exposes a brutal truth of our economy.

Whilst the super-rich have amassed record fortunes, wages are lower in real terms for millions of us.

We stand in solidarity with all those striking and organising to fix this economic injustice.

This opinion is a seismic win for climate justice - brought about by tireless organising by young people from frontline communities.

Polluting states will be held accountable for the harm they have caused.

This is the climate crisis in action.

Surging food prices hitting ordinary people already battered by high energy bills driven by fossil fuels.

As the super-wealthy and corporations profit from fanning the flames.

This is the reality for millions, especially young people.

Pouring more and more of our paychecks into the pockets of ultra-wealthy corporate landlords.

This can't carry on.

The solutions are clear:

Tax the super-rich.

Invest in affordable homes.

Cap rents.

Reform can rip up climate policies.

But the reality hasn’t changed: it's Reform's constituents being hit by higher bills, food prices and extreme weather driven by climate breakdown.

And it's only climate action policies which stop these crises getting worse.
