“Tax. The. Rich.” The message from our new polling out today on the front page of the Daily Mirror.
Avoiding austerity & helping people with the cost of living isn’t free. Voters are ready for some tax rises - but only if the wealthy pay their fair share.

Higher taxes on the wealthy, especially via closing loopholes, is very popular in itself. Using the money to fund public services even more so. Labour made an election promise to ensure “those with the broadest shoulders” paid their fair share and won a mandate to do so.

Standing with my Jewish neighbours in the rain close to Heaton Park Shul. Antisemitism has been on the rise. When I go to Mass, there’s no security on the door. My kids don’t have drills to prepare for a possible attack. We can’t defeat hate with more hate, only with love, togetherness and action.

I joined @lewisgoodall.com to talk about the new polling we’ve done with survation. In the face of voter discontent about the cost of living a little and the NHS, the riskiest thing the government could do is to be cautious.

The proposed cuts to disability benefits are really frightening for people like 38 Degrees supporter Anna, who has stage four cancer and who relies on PIP. She shared her story with Good Morning Britain this morning to raise awareness and in the hope that the govt steps back from making these cuts.

I’ve been given a Father’s Day Eve gift of two rings (pictured) and also a visit to an imaginary petting farm. Being the number one dad in the world is earned not given but it comes with real rewards.
