Tax cuts for the mega-wealthy in the midst of a cost of living crisis. Please please stop voting Tory 🤯
From next April the 45% top rate of tax (applies to those earning £150,000) will be scrapped. So the top rate will be the 40% higher rate threshold. This means mega earners, pay the same rate as those on £50,000. #MiniBudget

The incredible @claireheafford speaking so articulately about the Whyte review into British gymnastics
Watch our co-founder @claireheafford on @CNN talking about the Whyte Review, what it means to her, and what needs to happen moving forward. Change cannot rest with BG alone. The Government must introduce legislative change now. https://t.co/c3izSHKrJW
