Millions of people in our country live in poverty, struggling with the cost of living. While a few thousand people have unimaginable wealth. Our tax system is prejudiced. If you can invest money to make money your tax rate will be half as big as if you make money in a job. That’s an outrage.

A tiny 2% tax on wealth above £10million would affect only 20,000 people but would raise £24billion a year. Imagine what we could fund with this… the two child benefit cap? No problem – and £22billion left in change.
We need to reform our tax system – and that friends is something Farage and Reform will not call for.
