Labour MPs press Keir Starmer to set out ‘wealth tax’ plans

Why are Labour being so timid about taxing the rich?

It’s the obvious and fair way to fill the hole in the public finances

And preventing more intolerable cuts to public services

The Bank of England is spooked by inflation and choosing to push the UK economy into recession

But we know that this inflation is caused by Putin’s aggression not by over-heating

If we need to take demand out of the economy we should do it by taxing the super-rich

The Tories cut thousands of police jobs during the austerity years

Rapid recruitment to replace them then undermined vetting standards

Tories style themselves as the party of law and order

But they have made us less safe and allowed corruption of our police services
RT @GMB: A damning report has warned hundreds of police officers in England in Wales have been cleared to serve when they should have failed vetting procedures.
