Burnham is reportedly planning a major overhaul of our broken council tax & business rates systems. But what could that look like? In his latest for @thefabians.bsky.social our own Joe Wright analyses his options, including Burnham's favoured #LandValueTax. fabians.org.uk/taxing-times...

In his first speech Britain’s new Chancellor said he wanted to "build hope." But is John Healey ready to fix an economy undermined by decades of underinvestment? Here's what we know about him & what we think of his early flurry of policy announcements. 👉 taxjustice.uk/blog/can-new...

Can new Chancellor John Healey "Build Hope for Britain" - Tax Justice UKWhat does Burnham's surprise pick for Chancellor,John Healey, and his early flurry of policy announcements tell us?taxjustice.uk

Well done to the anonymous billionaire family on‑shoring their wealth! 👏 But banking in Guernsey instead of Gateshead shouldn’t save you £0.8bn a year in tax. Paying for the investment the UK needs starts with closing tax havens. spearswms.com/wealth/briti...

Burnham needs £18 Billion year to fix social care and save the NHS. A Wealth Tax raise that— with £6 billion leftover for other priorities— and those paying it would barely notice it. 1/3

We can't wait to see Shabaz Ali's new documentary, out tomorrow at 21:00 on BBC3 (and iPlayer). Look out for our ED @faizashaheen.bsky.social who sat down with Shabaz to explain the mind‑bending scale of billionaire wealth— and the inequality crisis its fuelling. www.radiotimes.com/tv/documenta...

Wealth taxes on the super-rich were splashed across the front pages of newspapers today. Because our friends at Patriotic Millionaires UK worked with Gary Lineker and over a hundred of their members to loudly say, they're proud to pay more tax. The ball's in your court, Burnham

Right now, those who work for a wage (generally the poorest) face higher rates than those living off income from assets (generally the richest) & hoarded wealth is barely taxed at all. So how do we tax wealth well? Check out the latest from Prof Lucy Barnes... inews.co.uk/opinion/coun...

But a 2% tax on wealth over £10m IS a policy for uniting the country. 99.97% of us wouldn't pay a penny, while the richest 0.03% would pay a modest amount they'd barely notice. But we'd all feel the difference £24bn could make. That's why 75% of people (incl. 75% of millionaires) back it.

Burnham’s cutting VAT on home electricity bills— it's a good first move, and it’ll help millions who are struggling right now. It's great that he’s cut taxes on ordinary people, without handing another tax break to fossil fuel giants, because they have a tendency...🧵1/8

It's democracy, or extreme wealth inequality. We can't have both.

Be audacious @andyburnham.bsky.social ! REMEMBER: 75% of the UK public back a Wealth Tax (& 75% of UK millionaires do too!) The howlers might be loud (because they own newspapers and social media platforms), but in reality they are a tiny, greedy minority protecting their stash.

Yes, you heard that right... Put another way, the top 50 richest families in the UK, now hold more wealth than the bottom 50% (≈35MILLION people) combined. @gabrielzucman.bsky.social is spot on. Extreme wealth inequality is breaking our country. That's why we need a #WealthTax.

Our democracy is for sale. Our politicians are being bought. Now the Elections Bill has been delayed, Burnham has a choice: strengthen it & kick Big Money out of politics, or water it down & let the super-rich continue eroding our democracy. Act now: actionnetwork.org/letters/our-...

The super-rich have no problem measuring wealth when they want to sell a mansion, buy a stock or insure a yacht. Here’s Gabriel Zucman, globally respected economist, to remind everyone that it isn’t suddenly some magical mystery when its needed to calculate a wealth tax.

"The very richest continue getting richer, partly enabled by a tax system which allows them to pay lower effective tax rates than the rest of us." Our very own Caitlin Boswell tells it straight on GBNews. 🔥📺

Despite what you may hear from the loud & greedy minority, most millionaires— like Tim Stumpff— are happy to pay their taxes & proud to stay in the UK. Check out Tim's take on reports the Govt is looking to revive its Golden Visa scheme, in the FT. 👉 www.ft.com/content/50cc...
