Silvia Galandini, Oxfam’s Head of Gender Justice, responding to today’s Budget, said:
“This Budget has, once again, shielded the ultra-wealthy from paying their fair share, denying vital extra resources from the fight against inequality, climate change and gender injustice.
“Scrapping the two-child limit will bring essential relief for families trapped in poverty but while her baby-steps towards fairly taxing wealth are welcome, the Chancellor remains strikingly out of touch with a public that is crying out for a no-brainer wealth tax on the super-rich.
“By refusing to fully fix our broken tax system we’re failing to secure the additional resources needed to properly invest in cutting poverty and inequality through stronger public services, dignified social security for everyone, and fair climate action. Until we do, all of us will continue to pay the price.”
