We work to make mass impoverishment a key issue for Government, and to drive serious policy change to protect the interests of the 99% (in the UK, if you earn less than £120k, that’s you).

Dear 99% members (and other readers), As 2021 draws towards a close, I thought it might be worth quickly reviewing some of the high and low points of the year. The year began, as it is ending, with concern about whether the government is doing enough to protect the population of the UK from […]
