CGND with XR Calderdale on 'the wavy steps' in Hebden Bridge today, demanding the Government impliment the 2008 Climate Change Act with a new Climate Budget this coming May.

Tax their billions to fund renewable energy for all! The green economy in the UK is booming. Yet, the government is approving new runways and oil giants like BP are going all-in on new oil and gas. Billionaires are richer than ever. We should be taxing ...

The money to fund a better future exists but it is being hoarded by the super-rich.

The government needs to tax extreme wealth and use it to fund renewable energy and better public services for all.
