Positive money suggests that the UK could raise up to £10.9bn this year by increasing bank taxes. As the TUC says, “Plenty of countries have successfully taxed banks’ windfall profits.” #TaxTheBanks to bring down energy bills as the big 4 banks rake in £29bn of profits in the first half of the year.

Meetings with banks & finance lobbyists more than doubled under Keir Starmer's government compared to Boris Johnson’s 🏦

Will Andy Burnham keep up Labour's cosy relationship with the City or break this trend?

One clear signal would be to #TaxTheBanks 👉 bit.ly/TaxTheBanks

Thanks so much to @changingthenarrative.media for hosting me to highlight the record-breaking profits big UK banks have raked in thanks to higher interest rates - both from customers & the rest of us, thanks to interest payments on reserve holdings.

Interest rates go up and banks earn more without doing a thing. The Bank of England pays them interest on reserves, funded by the Treasury.
