The interest on £1 billion in savings /investment with a current UK base rate of around 4.5%, the annual interest could be approximately £45 million…. That’s a year & these guys don’t have bank accounts like you or I and probably have higher rates of interest - TAX THE WEALTHY !✊🏼

The same neoliberal shit as ever -PFIs which we are already paying back from previous PFI policy (to the tune of £220 by 2040). How about taxing the UK's filthy rich? That's where all the money is going.

Karin Smyth wants us to believe that new NHS private finance will be 'fundamentally different'.
Her reason? Because the public owns the asset at the end of the PFI contract 🧐 1/3

The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population.
How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?
They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.
