It’s time the king gave up his royal exemptions from UK law https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/05/10/its-time-the-king-gave-up-his-royal-exemptions-from-uk-law/. Clive Lewis MP has been doing good work on the 160 or so royal exemptions from UK law, from tax onwards, and has a petition out asking the king to give these up. Might you support his cause?

The government’s plan to restrict the right of state employees to strike is another nail in the coffin of public services https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/05/09/the-governments-plan-to-restrict-the-right-of-state-employees-to-strike-is-another-nail-in-the-coffin-of-public-services/

Did a Tory Vice-Chair mean to oppose democracy, or did he just make a mistake? https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/05/08/did-a-tory-vice-chair-mean-to-oppose-democracy-or-did-he-just-make-a-mistake/.

Yesterday saw the first reversal of the right to vote since 1832 https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/05/05/yesterday-saw-the-first-reversal-of-the-right-to-vote-since-1832/. The Tories removed the right to vote from many of the young, the old, the poorest and the most vulnerable yesterday. Those are the first they came for. Who will they come for next?

Would PR change who you voted for tomorrow? https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/05/03/would-pr-change-who-you-voted-for-tomorrow/. Campaigning for PR only makes sense if it would change how we vote. Would you vote differently tomorrow if we had PR? Three polls on my blog this morning seek to test that idea.

We need a Ministry of Taxation and an Office for Tax Responsibility https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/04/25/we-need-a-ministry-of-taxation-and-an-office-for-tax-responsibility/. We need proper government emphasis on the role of tax in society, with a ministry dedicated to tax and proper scrutiny of how the system worked. The result would be that the UK would, for the first time, have an accountable tax system.

The government will save £60 billion with its pay settlement with the nurses, and destroy the NHS and the health of the nation https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/03/17/the-government-will-save-60-billion-with-its-pay-settlement-with-the-nurses-and-destroy-the-nhs-and-the-health-of-the-nation/. The NHS pay deal is dire for us all - because it will undermine the NHS and the health of all those who depend on it
