In a bold move aimed at addressing income inequality and funding critical public services, the Green Party has vowed to dismantle the “conspiracy of silence” surrounding taxation. As part of their “broken Britain” election manifesto, the party plans to significantly increase taxes on multimillionaires and billionaires. These funds will be directed toward enhancing health, housing, transport, and the green economy.
Adrian Ramsay, co-leader of the Green Party, emphasised the need for a fairer tax system, advocating for wealthier individuals to contribute more. “We need to ask those with the broadest shoulders to pay more,” Ramsay stated. He criticised both Labour and the Conservatives for their reluctance to discuss fair taxation and for planning to cut public services instead.
