Most of us haven’t had a proper pay rise for a decade. The nation’s safety net has been slashed.
Our budgets are being squeezed like never before.
We need a new plan.
That’s why we’re launching #StopTheSqueeze - a real plan for an affordable Britain.
stopthesqueeze.uk https://stopthesqueeze.uk
We’ve seen big price hikes in food, energy and other essentials while wages and social security payments have fallen in value. This has left many people struggling to stay afloat, forced to choose between heating our homes and feeding our kids. https://stopthesqueeze.uk
This squeeze of our household budgets is the result of choices made by the politicians running our economy. But they have the power to make different choices. And solutions exist that are fair, realistic, and popular with the public. https://stopthesqueeze.uk
We are calling on this government to tackle the cost of living crisis by guaranteeing affordable energy for all, boosting incomes, & raising taxes on wealth.
We’re backed by groups like @savechildrenuk, @oxfamgb, @CAP_UK, @magic_breakfast & @PatMillsUK.

@savechildrenuk @oxfamgb @CAP_UK @magic_breakfast @PatMillsUK Energy is an essential we all rely on. The government should implement a strategy to guarantee clean, affordable energy for everyone. https://stopthesqueeze.uk
@savechildrenuk @oxfamgb @CAP_UK @magic_breakfast @PatMillsUK Everyone deserves enough money to afford essentials so they can live well, not just scrape by. This government should deliver an immediate increase in the minimum wage & redesign our social security system to ensure everyone has access to a Living Income.

@savechildrenuk @oxfamgb @CAP_UK @magic_breakfast @PatMillsUK Our tax system is broken.
The British people agree - we need higher taxes for the people who have the most. This should include a tax on wealth so those who earn and own the most pay their proper share. https://stopthesqueeze.uk
@savechildrenuk @oxfamgb @CAP_UK @magic_breakfast @PatMillsUK It is time to rewrite the rules of our economy so that we all share in the rewards.
It is time to Stop the Squeeze and introduce a real plan for an affordable Britain where everyone can thrive.

🧵We need a real plan for an affordable Britain. Here’s how the Chancellor can use his #AutumnStatement to #StopTheSqueeze by:

💡 Guaranteeing affordable energy
💷 Boosting incomes
⚖️ Raising taxes on wealth
The Chancellor is set to raise the energy price cap to as much as £3,100 this morning. And with the Energy Price Guarantee ending in April, energy bills will become even less affordable for millions.

theguardian.com/politics/2022/…
But the Chancellor has an option to guarantee affordable energy. Not just for now, but for the long term.

He can do this by:

✅Reforming our broken energy market
✅Ending profiteering
✅Driving a rapid acceleration of investment in cleaner technologies

🗞️NEW: 120 Economists have called on the Chancellor to use the Autumn Statement to invest our public services, social safety net, and clean energy infrastructure and to avoid the 'economic self harm' of spending cuts.

politico.eu/newsletter/lon… Image
The economists say that government needs to listen to organisation like the IMF and learn the lessons of failed austerity after 2008, where spending cuts worsened the recession and caused lasting economic and social damage.

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-635822…
Supporting people and the economy to overcome this crisis as quickly as possible should be the priority of government economic policy at this time: “Household finances across the country are in crisis, our public finances are not.”

Our tax system is broken.

Many very wealthy people, who make their money from investments and property, are taxed relatively lightly.

While ordinary people pay a disproportionate amount of tax on the money they earn through work.

Right now ordinary people are paying the price for the cost of living crisis.

The Government should urgently introduce higher taxes on wealth, so that those who earn the most, and own the most, pay their proper share. Image
A package of wealth tax reforms could fund cost of living support in the short term and provide essential public goods - like a strong social safety net and clean affordable energy provision - in the future.
