Other European and advanced economies have been reducing child poverty rates – but the UK has been sharply increasing it for over a decade. The government has answered with a Child Poverty Strategy, but does it understand the real crisis? Read our briefing now: https://ow.ly/lVGT50XZAJW

Last week we published a report showing the super rich are using their wealth to buy huge political influence over the UK through political donations, control of the media, and Lords.
Here's some ways we've been proven right since 🧵
Headline paraphrased from from The Guardian about the ultra-rich influencing British politics through donations, media control, and House of Lords appointments.
Unlike millionaires, we can't just pay for our opinions to be on the front page. But with your help, we're changing the conversation anyway.
Don't let them stop us! If you donate today, we'll double it. That's twice the headlines next year!

Are you happy to let aristocrats and tech billionaires speak for you? If so, you'll love our new report in the Guardian on money, the media, and the House of Lords 👇
The concerns cited are fictional – when taxes are put on the richest, they stay and pay.

We all want to see society get fairer, greener, and give everyone the chance to live a decent life. The richest are making huge amounts of money by getting in the way of those goals.
Extreme wealth is an existential problem. Read more about our new analysis 👇
Wondering where obscene wealth in the UK came from? Read on...
A graphic that reads "Trans people exist; billionaires shouldn't." The image uses the trans pride colours of blue and pink.
We see the harm, fear, and confusion for trans people in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling. The EHRC's guidance has made this worse. Equality means standing firmly for the freedom, safety, and autonomy of all people; it means standing against misleading and divisive narratives.

A graphic labelled "the Thames Water cycle" which has a four-part cycle of increase profits, pay dividends and CEO, take on new debt, and demand bill hikes.
Thames Water is in court demanding a £3bn bailout loan, paid for by customers. It's the latest rip-off in decades of hiking bills, extracting profits, and dumping sewage. What's the point of a water system – to provide water or to make money for the richest? Nationalise it now!
Water profiteers get: £85bn in dividends. You get a 40% bill hike?!

We are almost half way to our target with just 4 days left ✨ thank you so much to everyone who shares our vision of a UK where we can all flourish and the accumulation of obscene wealth is seen as actively destructive.
Please join the movement - inequality is not inevitable 💪🏻
This massive inequality isn't inevitable. The need for foodbanks has skyrocketed in the the UK – as has the number of billionaires and their wealth.
These things are two sides of the same coin. Trussell do incredible, vital work, but this inequality shouldn't be how our country works.
Totally agree - we are working on the basis that home needs to be as undemanding as possible to get them through it which means it impacts on their whole lives 🥺

A graphic reading "Privatised water in a rip off: we pay £450m to South West Water...and they pay £1.5bn to shareholders." The source is Lucas Amin at Democracy for Sale.
Reporting from @lucasamin.bsky.social at Democracy for Sale has revealed a decade of bill subsidies paid to South West Water with public money – while the privatised SWW dumped sewage in record quantities and paid £1.5bn to shareholders.
Enough. Nationalise water companies now!
Also, I still know Naughty Bus off by heart as was a top fave in our house 15 years ago ☺️
Yes!! It's either that or a selfie 😂
Thought I'd give it a go and see if I'm any better at posting stuff here than in all the other places... 😌
Billions of pounds of cuts will do exactly what austerity always does. There's an alternative: taxing the rich and investing in the rest of us. Agree? Sign the petition now 👇
