Hi John,

It’s 2030. People across the UK can afford to pay their bills. Public transport is affordable. And workers from steel and fossil fuel sectors now have well paid unionised jobs in green industries.

Sounds good, right? Well, it’s also completely possible. [1]

If the super-rich pay their fair share to help us get back on track, we can create a society that is more equal and just.

Will you join us in calling for this National Renewal Tax?

As we speak, the richest 1% of Britons hold more wealth than 70% of the rest of us combined. [2]

They also emit the most, with the richest 0.1% contributing 12 times more to the climate crisis than the average person. [3]

Britain is crying out for national renewal, and it’s climate solutions that can improve people’s lives starting tomorrow. Solutions that are achievable if those with the broadest shoulders chip in and do their bit to revive our nation.

This is why we’re demanding a one-off National Renewal Tax on the super-rich 0.1% in the UK with wealth over £10 million.

Even the wealthiest among us want this: 3 out of 4 people with £1 million spare in their accounts agree that we need a proper wealth tax to help fund key services and to deal with the cost of living crisis. So what’re we waiting for? [4]

Let’s create the future we dream of - together.

With love, rage and solidarity,

Prishita Maheshwari-Aplin
