🧵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.

Our tax system is broken.

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

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

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.

This has left many people struggling to stay afloat, forced to choose between heating our homes and feeding our kids. https://stopthesqueeze.uk
