Print out a #TaxTheBanks poster in time for Halloween!

🐈‍⬛ John, this Halloween it’s not black cats we should be frightened of, but fat cats 🎩 Between now and 31st October, the big four banks will be announcing their latest quarterly profits. We don’t know the exact figures yet, but we do know they’ll be scarily big.

Higher interest rates have treated the big banks to billions in unearned profits, while the public's been tricked with soaring mortgage, rent and debt payments.

So, alongside the Equality Trust, we’ve designed this poster calling on Jeremy Hunt to #TaxTheBanks. If thousands of us printed one out to display in our windows for trick-or-treaters to see, our message could reach thousands more people around the country!

Hit the buttons below to print the poster and put it up in your window for trick-or-treaters to see this Halloween.

We were pleased when the Bank of England decided to hit pause on interest rate rises last month John. [1] But the impact of 14 rate hikes in a row is still hitting millions of us around the country - and staff at the Bank are even admitting this themselves. [2] 

A windfall tax would help claw back some of the billions the big banks have made, and could be used to help those suffering most from the cost of living crisis. The big banks won’t redistribute these treats to customers by themselves - we need the government to step in and act, we need to #TaxTheBanks.

If you agree it’s time to end trick-or-treat interest rates John, please print out a poster to put up in your window this Halloween, and share a photo of your poster displayed with us by emailing [email protected] or tagging us on Twitter @PositiveMoneyUK! 

Thanks for all your support,
