"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.

👀 So while all eyes were on the budget, Ministers just slipped out their North Sea Future Plan. While it’s good to see them stick to manifesto pledge not to grant new licenses, it’s a shame to see approval of “tiebacks” to existing fields - unnecessary concession that undermines climate messages

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.

Gambling taxes are long overdue and an ethical way to raise revenue.

But while advertising and lobbying are so rampant, harms will continue until they are controlled. #Budget

The Chancellor's decision to cut energy bills by raiding the Warm Homes Plan isn't a genuine solution to fuel poverty; it's robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Ridiculous to prioritise short-term headlines at the expense of long-term delivery when costs could be funded by taxing wealth.

Since 2011 the fuel duty freeze has cost the Treasury £133 billion.

This huge amount could have paid for lower train and bus fares, better stations, safer walking, wheeling and cycling and much more!

What would Greens do at the Budget?

🟢 Cut energy bills by ending profiteering
🟢 Give councils the power to control rents
🟢 Cut water bills by bringing water into public hands
🟢 Lift the two-child benefit cap and extend free school meals to all

Ahead of tomorrow's Budget, the Green Party's message couldn't be clearer: cut bills, tax billionaires.

We live in a massively unequal society - it's time to change that. Tax wealth fairly, reduce the strain on ordinary families, and invest in public services.

Ahead of the Budget, the Green Party is calling for immediate cost of living measures to cut bills by hundreds of pounds, and for fair taxes on wealth to raise over £30 billion a year.

Across Bristol, people are at breaking point

Bills keep going up. Rents are spiralling. Families are struggling to put food on the table.

This must be a cost-of-living budget to make our system fairer and, most importantly, to make life affordable again
