Implement a 2% wealth tax on individuals with net assets exceeding £10 million - Petitions

This petition proposes a 2% annual wealth tax on individuals with net assets exceeding £10 million, aiming to create a fair and effective policy. It suggests introducing an asset register and safeguards like an exit tax to prevent asset relocation offshore. The petition argues that wealth held in static assets contributes little to economic growth and can widen the wealth gap, and it believes a targeted wealth tax offers a fair solution. It also emphasizes that income earned through work should not be taxed.

Women’s charity celebrates £22,000 worth of grants to support education for women

The Diamond Education Grant, established by Soroptimist International Great Britain and Ireland, celebrates £22,000 worth of grants to support women's education on the UN's International Day of Education.

This year, 22 women from Europe, Asia, and the Caribbean received grants, including Milly Fyfe, who used hers to learn foraging and cooking to help other parents. The charity aims to provide universal access to education and training for women and girls, advocating for gender parity and empowerment.

UK households to get £15bn for solar and green tech to lower energy bills - BBC News

The UK government has announced a £15bn Warm Homes Plan to help households lower their energy bills by installing solar panels, heat pumps, and batteries.

It aims to create a 'rooftop revolution' by tripling the number of homes with solar, and lifting one million people out of fuel poverty. The scheme has been welcomed by the energy and finance industry, but some criticize it for potentially high ongoing running costs.
