Bill increases of nearly a third for millions of ordinary people have helped Thames Water's profits soar to over £400 million. Foreign hedge fund lenders want more power to pollute our waters and raise our bills. Privatised water is a scam. Let's bring it back into public hands.

Rachel Reeves says on Laura Kuenssberg that she's asking working people to pay a little bit more.

This was all under the cover of a made up "black hole" whilst refusing to tax the super rich.

This Labour Government showing again exactly who they are and who they serve.

The government have appointed insolvency advisors as Thames Water edges nearer to collapse.

Customers have been rinsed by privatised water companies for decades, while CEOs and shareholders filled their pockets.

Now is the time to take back control of our water.

Former Shadow Chancellor Anneliese Dodds has even said Starmer and Reeves should consider a wealth tax.

They can only bury their heads in the sand for so long.

Now is the time to tax the super-rich properly and close the inequality gap.
A group of leading economists is urging Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves to introduce a wealth tax to tackle extreme inequality.

The Green Party has consistently called for a fairer tax system.

Time for Labour to make some different political choices and tax the super-rich fairly.

I’m supporting the nationwide day of action calling on the richest to PAY UP.

In 2024, UK billionaires added £35 million per day to their wealth. Meanwhile, Brighton & Hove Council has an estimated funding gap of £17.2 million.

The money is there - time to tax it fairly.

Farage's Reform want to allow the super-rich to buy their way out of paying UK tax for just £250k.

This would cost the country an estimated £34 billion in lost revenue.

Rather than exempting the wealthiest, the Green Party would tax them properly to help fix our public services.

🤯 CEOs at FTSE350 companies are paid 52 times more than a typical worker on average.

📈 These levels of inequality cannot continue.

💚 We would bring in a maximum 10:1 pay ratio, meaning the highest-paid employee couldn't be paid more than 10 times what the lowest-paid earns.

🚨 MYTH BUSTED 🚨

Reports of a 'millionaire exodus' due to tax changes have been revealed to be completely false by research from the Tax Justice Network.

No more excuses. Time to tax the super-rich properly.

So we hear Angela Rayner has been giving Rachel Reeves ideas on how to change the tax system...

Here's one: how about a wealth tax on the super rich?

The UK's 50 richest families hold more wealth than 50% of the population. No more cruel cuts. It's time to tax wealth fairly.

This year’s #IDAHOBIT theme, ‘The Power of Communities’ reminds us: solidarity drives change. Across Europe & Central Asia, LGBTI people are resisting, organising, and caring together. Visibility isn’t enough. We must act, speak, and stand united. Freedom. Equality. Dignity. Everywhere.

The Government's own spending watchdog says wealthy individuals in Britain might be avoiding even more tax than thought.

Is anyone surprised?

Instead of removing support for pensioners and disabled people, it's time for Labour to tax the super rich fairly.

Imagine this: #BrusselsPride is banned. Organisers are under investigation. Facial recognition is used to identify and fine peaceful attendees. This is not imagination; it’s happening in the EU.
