A report from @jrf-uk.bsky.social shows UK poverty is 'deeper and more damaging than any point in last 30 years' - citing the government's lack of urgency and direction.
Poverty is a political choice - Labour have chosen austerity over addressing inequality by taxing extreme wealth fairly.

In 2025, billionaire wealth grew 3x faster than the average of the previous five years, while public services crumbled and living costs soared. This is a political choice- putting the richest first.
We are the only party demanding a wealth tax to reverse this extreme inequality.
