Rachel Reeves is reportedly considering raising income tax next month.

Of course Labour are planning on going after working people while conveniently ignoring the super-rich who are hoarding this country's wealth.

The Green Party is clear - time to tax wealth, not work.

REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE.

REFORM threw everything at Caerphilly, all their dark money, all their big name, far right agitators, they played the race card, as usual, and got well and truly shafted by Plaid.

Workers generate wealth, CEOs take unfair share.

At Melrose, CEO to average worker pay ratio is 1,112
Tesco 375
Marks & Spencer 261
Associated British Foods 218
Sainsbury's 195

How will the Govt secure equitable distribution of income for workers, reduce poverty?

Watch the Minister's answer.

Reeves considers adding 1p to basic rate or raising higher or additional tax rates.

There must be no tax rise for the bottom 50%.

Must tax dividends & capital gains at same rate as wages, restrict tax relief on pension contributions to basic rate only.

HMRC hasn't collected over £500bn since 2010
