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

Zero mention of climate in a budget balanced on future tax receipts from unapproved oil drilling. Plenty of praise for bankers, but a broken pledge to equalise the minimum wage for young people. A budget that betrays the future for young people and the planet they inherit.

We needed bold long term strategic action from the Chancellor; not small sticking plasters.

This budget was a betrayal of our future; the Labour government chose protecting corporate profits over people and planet.

Labour thinks life doesn't cost as much for young people. That must be why they've broken their pledge to remove the lower minimum wage for under 21s.

John Healey promised it would be a "continuity Labour government with a change of leader". His Budget has delivered exactly that.
Political graphic with a red background and the headline “CONTINUITY” in large white capital letters at the top. The central image combines half of Rachel Reeves’ face on the left with half of John Healey’s face on the right, creating one merged portrait. On the left, the text reads “RACHEL REEVES 2025”. On the right, it reads “JOHN HEALEY 2026”. Beneath both names are five identical statements, each accompanied by a white cross: NO WEALTH TAX NO RENT FREEZE NO PUBLIC OWNERSHIP OF WATER NO MAJOR INVESTMENT IN CLIMATE RESILIENCE STICKING TO SELF-IMPOSED FISCAL RULES The lower half of the image gradually fades to black to make the white text more visible. The graphic highlights the Green Party's criticism that both Labour Budgets follow the same approach despite the change of Chancellor.

Different Chancellor. Same old Labour.
Black-and-white campaign-style portrait of a Chancellor John Healey in a suit overlaid with ironic text: "Believe in doing nothing. Even if it means sacrificing everything." and "Just do it." with "do it" crossed out and handwritten "more of the same"; Green Party logo at bottom.

We’re told things are changing, but we’re still being ripped off. Hope isn’t just a slogan for us: its a genuine commitment to making life affordable. This is how we’ll do it.

"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.

A year ago, the RSF entered El Fasher in Sudan after an 18 month siege, in an attack which killed 10,000 people over two days and the UN found had the "hallmarks of genocide". Last year, UK arms were found in RSF hands in Sudan. The RSF is backed by the UAE: a big importer of UK weapons. When will Labour act against those brazenly breaking the arms embargo?

“We should be making sure that people who make a living by going out to work aren't paying effectively a higher rate of tax than people who get their income from sitting on assets.” Ellie Chowns responds to reports that Chancellor John Healey has ruled out equalising capital gains tax ahead of tomorrow's Budget.
