Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free.
Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.

🟢 Tackle the climate emergency
🟢 Improve public services
🟢 Lower household bills
It's time to put people and planet before profit. #TaxTheRich

Child Poverty % (children living in households below the minimum wage)
Denmark 2.4%
Finland 3.2%
Norway 3.6%
Sweden 3.6%
The UK 32.1%
All four of those countries have child benefits, paid by taxing the rich, that make it almost impossible for a child to be in poverty.
