UPDATE: Now we know that before this £11million for Reform, 6th richest Brit Christopher Harborne also gave Farage an undeclared £5 million gift. Sounds legit. Had enough of our democracy being bought up and bent out of shape by billionaires? Us too. Visit taxjustice.uk/NotForSale to act now.
💥 This is what happens when you question having to choose between supporting small businesses & pulling children out of poverty... Why are elite interests & tax dodging corporations a given & our communities' needs negotiable? Our ED on Jeremy Vine show.
Just a reminder: Nobel prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz agrees with us. Asking a Billionaires to live with 995 million won't end civilisation... But runaway inequality might.
🥧 The super‑rich are at Davos carving up the world, and leaving the rest of us with crumbs. The 12 richest people in the world now have more wealth than the poorest 4 billion. So, we popped into @oxfamgb.bsky.social's pie shop, where everyone gets a fair slice, to talk about a #WealthTax.
Tax justice is an issue that unites people. Making the billionaires pay their fair share, placing checks and balances on the influence of the super-rich, and building an economy that meets our needs. TJUK Exec Director Faiza Shaheen on Good Morning Britain today 👏
🇬🇧 50 UK families have more wealth than 34 million of us COMBINED. 🙃 Extreme wealth concentration is the crisis. Everything else is just a useful distraction for the billionaires bleeding us dry.
Pubic trust in politics has collapsed... because people aren't stupid. We can see the system doesn't work for us. It serves a tiny super-rich elite. Rebuilding that trust starts with taxing the super-rich fairly & kicking big money out of politics: taxjustice.uk/blog/how-to-...
"Think back to a few years ago with the invasion of Ukraine, we saw a really similar thing happen [...] some people were getting much, much richer off the back of this crisis, while ordinary people were footing the bill." Our very own Caitlin Boswell on GBNews.
Working for a living shouldn’t be taxed more than owning things for a living. Nobel Prize–winner Joseph Stiglitz calls out the injustice. The UK should listen and bring Capital Gains Tax rates in line with Income Tax rates & add NICs to profits from ownership too.
🇬🇧 The UK has a dirty little secret… It’s really good at hiding dirty little secrets. In June, the UK hosts a global dirty‑money summit — but unless they face Britain’s own role, it’ll just be a meaningless talking shop. Head to taxjustice.uk/DirtyMoney to find out more.

"As always under this capitalist system, it is ordinary people who pay the price for their crises." The cost of living crisis that people are experiencing is a direct consequence of the death and destruction rained down on Iran and Lebanon by the murderous US-Israel regimes. #SpéirGhorm

So Tesco’s UK CEO blames minimum wage for joblessness? Try low wages! Youth inactivity happens when work doesn’t pay enough to live, not because hiring costs a few pounds more. Work doesn’t pay to live because the cost of living is too high. Greedflation. #r4today #BBCBreakfast
