"Ordinary people are going to see their income tax bills increase"
@adrianramsay.bsky.social explains how Labour's budget fails to address unprecedented cost of living pressures- and how a wealth tax would raise revenues to fund our infrastructure and public services.

A Government of cowards.
Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.
They can't get away with this.

Dear @BBCNews we don't want to hear Jenrick's drivel on Radio 3 news. He has no right to speak about prisons, given the Tories left the overcrowding that results from destroying public services and offering no solution except "lock them up". Why not interview Zack Polanski instead, for a better way?

It will ensure everyone's vote is valued. PR will also improve voter satisfaction and strengthen our democracy.

So either Labour need to ask candidates to step aside for the Greens to take on Reform....
Or actually bring in a fair democratic process where everyone's votes count equally.
It's time for Proportional Representation.
