Why did Rachel Reeves bottle taxing the banks in #Budget2025?
When the big 4 banks have made £35 billion in profits so far this year, surely they can afford to pay more tax?

£85.2 billion has been paid in dividends to the shareholders of private water and sewage companies since privatisation.

Since the start of the year, the big 4 banks have made £32bn from interest and bank fees in the UK - paid by you. A 38% tax on UK net income as proposed by @positivemoneyuk.bsky.social would have raised £11bn so far this year.

HSBC boss Georges Elhedery already earns £10.5 million a year.
But HSBC are raising his pay to £15 million a year.
If HSBC can afford these excessive wages for their CEO, surely they can afford to pay a windfall tax?

Lloyds Bank have made £4.7 billion in profit so far this year, according to figures released yesterday.
Yet their CEO claims they can’t afford to pay more tax.
A windfall tax on the Big 4 banks - as proposed by @positivemoneyuk.bsky.social - could raise billions for our public services.

Barclays CEO C.S. Venkatakrishnan was paid £10.5 million last year.
But in September he told The Financial Times that the government needs to curb public sector pay rises.
When so many of us are struggling to pay our bills, maybe Fat Cat CEOs should take a pay cut instead?
