Labour left wealth taxes out of the Budget. It's time to tax the super-rich fairly.

John Healey promised it would be a "continuity Labour government with a change of leader". His Budget has delivered exactly that.

Replying to @TheGreenParty
@thegreenparty challenges the government over its failing climate commitments, exposing how 69% of all UK gas imports from Norway are actually 4x less polluting than our own domestic production. #Jackdaw #Climatechange #Rosebank #fossilfuels #GreenParty #UKPolitics #Emissions

While Norway banned routine gas flaring in 1971, the UK continues to lag behind, with voluntary industry rules instead of legally binding regulations. Comment 'no new gas' below if you want the government to take concrete actions to meet their climate change commitments.

A Budget to tax extreme wealth and profits and make the UK affordable. That is what a Green Chancellor would do.

"When the Chancellor talks about difficult choices, why are they always difficult choices for migrants, for disabled people, and for young people? It's time to tax the rich." - Zack Polanski speaks at the March Against Austerity ahead of the Budget.

Pleased to host this report launch. Very sad for what it reports for the Hongkongers, Uyghurs, Tibetans and others in China
It was a pleasure to join @hk_watch Patron Baroness @natalieben, @TibetWatch’s @turquoiseroof , @UyghurStop’s @MahmutRahima, and Thomas Benson from @hk_watch, in Parliament last night for the launch of Hong Kong Watch’s new report on the Chinese Communist Party’s Patriotic Education campaign in Hong Kong.

I write for @SectorFocus on #biodiversity: This seems impressive, but our grandparents, or their grandparents would think it a poor show. There are 75m fewer birds in Britain now than 50 years ago; 500m fewer in Europe. flickread.com/edition/html/i…

Labour now briefing young people won't get the same minimum wage uplift. Even Starmer didn't break this pledge. Workers rights mean same rights, pay & conditions, same rate for the same job. What does this Labour government have against young people? inews.co.uk/news/politics/mi…

The UK is exporting its carbon footprint. We ship 8M tonnes of scrap steel to nations with weak environmental laws, only to buy the finished product back. #UKSteel #NetZero

By melting this scrap down in the UK with electric arc furnaces, we could create British-produced steel, with significantly less carbon emissions. We must invest in domestic EAF infrastructure, use our raw materials at home, & reduce scrap exports to zero. @bmra_uk @UKSteel__

Two giant wins in 24 hours for progressives everywhere. The far-right just received an electoral thrashing in both Brazil and Serbia. 🧵1/2 @TheGreenParty @GreenJennyJones #LulaPresidente #LulaPelaDemocracia #Brazil #Serbia #SerbianElections

This is what happens when ordinary people actually stand up and organise. Around the world young people are voting to protect their own future, and they're winning. 2/2
