Doing all this popular and fair stuff to tax the rich would be great on its own terms, but it could also help allow real investment in our future – and that pays dividends. Plus you get a better society out of it. Everyone wins, including the richest!

Did the richest work harder to win their explosion of wealth? No! The cost of living crisis allowed banks, energy companies, water companies, supermarkets and more to do absolutely nothing and watch their profits soar off our higher bills. Taxing the richest would be about taking our wealth back.

Our tax system hugely favours the wealthiest. Taxes on income from work are much higher than passive income from wealth, allowing millionaires to pay effective tax rates that are half what the rest of us pay. Taxing the richest would make that system much fairer.

Homelessness, foodbank use, and child poverty have all been growing alongside the wealth of the super rich. These things are two sides of the same coin: inequality is undermining our ability to provide for everyone.
