We're kicking off a week-long tour of the UK to ask the Chancellor to tax us, the super-rich in the Budget.
Today we're in Edinburgh with Tax Justice Scotland and @oxfamscotland.bsky.social talking to people about the urgent need to create a fairer tax system.
It's time to #TaxTheSuperRich

Everything on our news agenda is being driven by a corrupted disinformation machine, run by a billionaire who sponsors Tommy Robinson and who keeps trying to foment civil war in the UK.

And incredibly our MPs & news providers stay there.

THAT is the problem. Not some bad editing choice on the BBC.

A magnificent piece of work. Comprehesive, revelatory & shocking. Journalism this good is always rare & precious but never moreso than at times like this. Latter day Lord Haw Haws being plumped, preened & delivered to your doorstep in plain sight by a Nazi-saluting goon

Nothing on the BBC Radio news this morning. Nothing I could find on their website. This is an MP from the party whose lead in the opinion polls normally ensures them wall-to-wall coverage. She spouts racist nonsense for which even she feels obliged to apologise. What on earth are they playing at?

Farage has gone to the US to tell them Britain is ”awful” - If you don’t like it over here Nigel maybe don’t catch a return flight?

The billionaire press barons must be having a right laugh…

Here we are distracted & arguing over asylum seekers (0.2% of the population)

Meanwhile, billionaires (just 0.0002% of the population) hoard more wealth than half the UK

Immigration isn’t draining us

Inequality is.

I go. I try. And I will keep trying, even though it feels like a losing battle. Because I remember the whole point of the far-right astroturfing of social media is to make it feel like a losing battle, to make us give up.

Anyway, a few snippets on small boat crossings and immigration.

This isn’t reform, it’s a con that lets billionaires buy their way out of tax while working people get crumbs labelled as fairness.
A new loophole for the rich, dressed up as justice, while the real causes of inequality go untouched.
