Rejected petition Reinstate the 45% tax rate

More details

The mini-budget benefits the higher earners in the population and not the lower-income people who need support and help most, especially those faced with the terrifying cost of living crisis and, in particular, those trying to keep a roof over their family’s heads. This is morally and financially wrong.
