UK median pay of employee is £31884 a year, net £26476.

Working-age adult needs to earn £31500 to reach minimum income standard .

Lone parent with 2 children needs £67600.

Couple with 2 children needs £77400.

Can't get growth without redistribution. Chancellor must cut tax on the poorest 50%.
This is how the Chancellor can increase the personal allowance and lift millions out of hardship
Sustained economic growth can’t be achieved without a major boost to the purchasing power of the bottom 50% of the population

Young people growing up in persistent poverty are more than three times as likely to be not in education, employment or training (NEET) at 17 or 23.

Less likely to transition out of NEET status.

Childhood poverty handicaps people throughout life.

Neoliberalism has ravaged the UK

Workers’ share of gross value added down from 71.9% in 1975, to 59.7%.

1.23m workers are on zero-hour contracts.

4.4m jobs pay less than the real living wage.

Poorest 20% pay a higher proportion of income in direct/indirect taxes than the richest 20%.
Here’s how the chancellor can raise the billions needed to improve the quality of life of millions

Our latest Honest Government Ad is now also on YouTube.

This extended version includes the insane story of California's forest offset program, which set aside 6M offset credits to compensate for a century of wildires for the next 100 years. And wildfires torched 11M offset credits in just 1 decade

Fascinating 🙏🏼
Parties of the left promise to tackle inequality. So why, once in government, do they so often “buffer the poor, insure the middle, but spare the rich”?

New research offers a revealing explanation – and a challenge for governments serious about redistribution.

Why don’t parties of the left reduce inequality?
Research by a Cambridge team sheds light on a paradox: Why does inequality not fall under governments which are expressly committed to it?

Tesla paid Elon Musk $158.3bn, 2.5m times more as CEO than its average worker in 2025.

Received the median Tesla worker’s pay every 4.23 seconds.

Money used to buy political favours, subvert democracy, fund far right groups.

Like the rest of us, he will leave the world empty-handed.
