Tax INCOME from wealth. Taxing assets is too difficult.

The Greens vs Reform.

It's hope vs hate.
It's decency vs indecency.
It's compassion vs insensitivity.
It's humanity vs Cruelty.

Which side are you on?

UK energy bill payers to hand £2bn a year in subsidies to EDF, owned by the French govt, for building two nuclear power stations.

That will come handy in keeping energy prices down in France, improving govt finances.

Dividends won't be taxed in the UK.

Reform has spent £700,000 on double-page ads in today's Telegraph, Times, Sun, Mail, Express & Metro papers in an attempt to make Farage look prime-ministerial after a week of character scrutiny.

I wonder where the roubles have come from for that PR exercise?

Watching fools cry this is a decent budget is painful.

I cant be bothered to explain to people why its shit, so heres someone better.
Why Reeves budget is a failure. The tax raised won't help living standards or stop the decline in services. It will pay off the Bank of England debts, and protect her arbitrary and restrictive fiscal rules.
The autumn budget: now the dust has settled, what's the verdict? NEF's chief economist sets the record straight.

Why is it always necessary to hit the living standards of the 99%?

When are we going to make the necessary decisions about extreme wealth?

Fuel Poverty affects millions of people and will only get worse with January’s 5.1% rise and the 3% predicted in April.

And as we mark Fuel Poverty Awareness Day, the reality is this: we are entering a fifth winter of the energy bills crisis with no long-term plan to end it.

Yeah, 450,000, but we’re not going to bother with the other 4.5 million children.

We feel we’ve done enough to keep our MPs and supporters happy
450,000 children out of poverty.

That's the difference made by a Labour government.

How are all those Labour politicians cheering for it?

They were literally whipped to vote for it and then the Prime Minister suspended those who didn't.

They really are totally devoid of any moral principle.

They respond to one thing - and that's political pressure.

Reeves’ problem is obvious: you can’t iron out the imbalances in an economy as unequal as ours only using the tax system.

The rich don’t just have too much wealth; they have too much power – and they’re using it to capture our democratic institutions.

The first of these clubs won't start until April 2026, most are scheduled to open in September 2026, or 2027...
