This petition, demanding a Wealth Tax instead of devastating cuts to disability support, was presented in the House of Commons before the vote on welfare cuts and will now be delivered to 10 Downing Street.

We oppose the Government’s plan to balance the books by targeting disabled people and the most disadvantaged in our society.

Slashing disability benefits instead of taxing extreme wealth is a political choice—and it is the wrong choice.

Instead, we believe that the very wealthiest should be made to pay their fair share.

A 2% Wealth Tax on assets over £10 million could raise up to £24 billion per year. That’s far more than the £5 billion the Government claims it will “save” by cutting key financial support for disabled people.

We call on the Government to abandon these cruel cuts and, instead of punishing the poorest, to implement a Wealth tax on the very wealthiest.
