The decision before Burnham and Healey is clear: allow banks to keep neglecting the UK, shower their shareholders in cash & profit from the public or #TaxTheBanks

Banks are failing to invest in the UK.

Instead, they're spending their record-breaking windfall profits boosting bankers' bonuses and payouts to shareholders.

Profits made at our expense.

Tell John Healey it's time to #TaxTheBanks 👇

In 2025, we found that less than £1 in £10 of UK bank lending went towards productive investment in the real economy 👉 positivemoney.org/uk...

And The Boston Consulting Group reports bank lending to UK businesses has fallen to its lowest level since 1998 👉 www.bcg.com/united-k...

"There are concerns among bankers that the government believes UK lenders haven’t done enough to support small businesses...Some of the revenue raised from a new tax could be used to lessen costs for those businesses" These concerns are well-founded. 🧵

Big UK banks pocketed £29.2bn in six months while our bills went up! A windfall tax on bank profits would raise £19bn for our NHS & schools. Sign the petition and tell John Healey to #TaxtheBanks!

"Britain’s big four banks are on track for a record-breaking year, buoyed by high interest rates."

Momentum is building but we need to stay louder than the lobbyists!
