When they are worth tens of billions of pounds, surely they should be on the list of the country’s biggest taxpayers? #TaxTheSuperRich

The NHS will pay £3 billion more a year for life-saving medicines from giant American pharmaceutical companies, because of a new UK-US trade deal.
When big US drug companies are already making billions in profit, is it right that the NHS should pay them more money? #NHS

A senior nurse on a £40,000 salary pays more tax than someone who makes the same from selling shares.

Rachel Reeves is ditching plans to introduce an exit tax on wealthy people who leave the UK, according to reports today.
