Today I have called for a Chilcot-style inquiry into the UK’s involvement in Israel’s assault on Gaza.
Our concerns have routinely been met with evasion and silence. We need a full, public, independent inquiry with the legal power to establish the truth. news.sky.com/story/starme...

There's zero chance of Labour levying a tax on extreme wealth - it's just watered down its promised crackdown on tax avoidance by ultra-wealthy non-doms.
And Dale campaigned against the@greenparty.org.uk, which has long been calling for exactly the sort of wealth tax he describes here!

A tiny 2% wealth tax, on 20k people would raise £24 billion per year to spend on the things that urgently need fixing in our country.
We need some tax justice - the more money you have the less tax you pay and vice versa - that’s absurd.
