Great work from @BBCWales. Keep going

Rachel Reeves says this Labour Governments decisions are "necessary."

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?

April 2022 Income Tax Threshold £12,570
April 2031 Income Tax Threshold £12,570

Should be about £16,970.

Meaning every person earning £16,970 or more is paying £1,231.86 more in tax.

Threshold freezes are a tax on the poorest.

“Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them become what they are capable of being.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

There’s something magical about letting people be.

Letting them shine in the ways that make sense to them.

This Christmas, millions of families have nowhere safe to stay.

Conflict and disaster have left mothers, fathers and children with nothing.

Will you support families to buy the nutritious food and hygiene supplies that could save lives?

I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it. We’re in a 1945/1979 moment when the pre-existing economic model has broken down. The difference between now and then is that there is no alternative model waiting in the wings, even if there were politicians who could sell it.

Wales has lost out on billions of £ from Labour’s unfair spending decision 😏

Plaid Cymru calls on the Chancellor to deliver a budget that works for Wales.

This includes £4BN from HS2, a halt to damaging taxes on family businesses and farms, and action on high energy bills.
