The world, Europe, and Spain have faced this critical moment before. In 2003, a few irresponsible leaders dragged us into an illegal war in the Middle East that brought nothing but insecurity and pain.

Our response then must be our response now:

NO to violations of international law.

NO to the illusion that we can solve the world’s problems with bombs.

NO to repeating the mistakes of the past.

NO TO WAR.

Imagine if Starmer had stood up at conference and said “Britain is rejoining the single market” instead of “we’re bringing in ID cards”:

🆙 The markets would have stabilised instantly.
💡 Farmers, business, and young people would have had hope again.
⤵️Reform and Farage would have been deflated overnight, their balloon popped.

Instead of looking authoritarian and out of touch, Labour would have looked bold, pro-European, and pragmatic.

👺Instead, he chose ID cards, a policy nobody asked for, that excites no one, and screams weakness.

@OllieGlanvill @SonOfChelsea Jackson always looks better when he finds himself on the left. I'm not convinced he's a striker. Don't know if he's a winger either though 🤔

A 2% wealth tax on assets over £10 million could raise £24 billion — more than enough to fund Winter Fuel Payments, scrap the two-child benefit cap and support public sector workers.

It’s time for the sixth-largest economy to tax the super-rich and distribute wealth fairly.

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

Here’s another idea @UKLabour

You say the Autumn budget will be painful

Why not offer a budget that raises funds from those who won’t feel pain

Perhaps, from those who might feel a tiny bit less comfortable

Or better still, from those so wealthy they’ll feel nothing at all.

@UKLabour

Why aren't they looking to raise desperately needs funds for our crumbling country, via:
- An #Amazon tax for online businesses not paying proper taxes (our research, based on online credit card transactions, could bring in c. £10.8bn per year)
- stop businesses headquartered abroad paying derisory low taxes - Starbucks paid £7.2m in UK corporation tax despite gross profit of £149m last year. But it's also other multinationals headquartered abroad - recent estimates 40% of multinational profits from firms outside of their headquarters' country — are shifted to tax havens.
- increase corporation tax by 1% for businesses making more than £500,000 profit
- close the tax gap (Latest HMRC update, June 2024, estimated the tax gap at 4.8% or £39.9 bn in absolute terms)
- introduce a 1% tax on assets over £10m (for this Parliament)
- tax inherited non-spousal pension pots

In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents.

It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years.

There should be no profit in education or healthcare.

"Its a bit of a cheek asking are trade unions being greedy asking for a pay rise. The FTSE350 top companies profits have gone up 73% since 2019. When are we going to ask are they being greedy?"

True when Eddie said it in 2022, and true today.

[Howard Beckett @BeckettUnite]

The Greens would tax wealth over £10ml at 1% and would bring Capital Gains Tax in line with income tax.

This would raise over £40bn pa that they would plough straight back into the NHS.

The Greens put the NHS before the assets of the super rich.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

So the previous govt has committed £277,000,000 to help a private company @AnglianWater move its sewage works.

What the hell is going here, why is the taxpayer giving money to a WC that's already been paid to do that job?

Confused of Finchley.
