'Tax isn't just about numbers, it's about rights. These all depend on resources. Tax is a tool for dignity and equality, not just revenue.' Angela O'Hagan from Scottish Human Rights Commission at #TaxJusticeScotland's conference

'Tax is our social superpower' says Alex Cobham @alexcobham.bsky.social of the global Tax Justice Network Bsky: @taxjustice.net tells the #TaxJusticeScotland conference. 'Every second I've been talking, the equivalent of a nurse's salary is lost to a tax haven' Think of what that money could do globally.

Rebecca Gowland from Patriotic Millionaires UK explaining why so many millionaires are saying 'tax me more'. Let's not forget that 76% of UK millionaires support higher taxes on their own wealth if it means a more stable and equal society for future generations #TaxJusticeScotland

'People are struggling because the system is stacked against them. Life isn't shocking anymore, it's just relentlessly hard. People are scunnered' Heather Kay from The STAR Project tells #TaxJusticeScotland's conference. 'Inequality exhausts people and wears them down.'

Good to hear Dave Hawkey from IPPR Scotland tell #SNP25 fringe for End Child Poverty, that to end child poverty, we need to talk about fairly raising more tax to invest, and that's likely to mean many of us will need to pay more. #TaxJusticeScotland

Great to hear Roz Foyer STUC make the case #SNP25 for fair tax reforms, referencing #TaxJusticeScotland. Highlights that almost 80% of people in Scotland support a wealth tax. Also stresses the urgent need to replace Council Tax.

"We need to stay the course" on climate action, says Cab Sec Gillian Martin, stressing the positive economic/health case. 👏 But we must also embed fairness. She says she's "very sympathetic" to a fair private jet tax. It is within devolved powers to do this, so time to deliver!

“The UK Gov needs to get on and improve the quality of wealth taxes... but, we also need to get on and use the tax powers that are available in Scotland." Great to talk w/ The National on replacing Council Tax and the need for a fair Private Jet Tax. #TaxJusticeScotland

Great to share Oxfam Scotland's priorities for Scottish Parliament with Gillian Martin. It includes 10 key steps for #ClimateJustice. #SNP25 We need all parties to back the steps needed for fairer and faster climate action.

Great to have a full house for our event at #SNP25 on credible climate and nature leadership with Alasdair Allan, Scottish Environment LINK, Oxfam Scotland and Climate Outreach

This was pretty special! Lovely to share it with nearly 70 students graduating from UWS in subjects from adult nursing to social work. In my role with Oxfam Scotland, I've worked in partnership with the Uni for the last 13 years in pursuit of a fairer Scotland.

I'm ready... are you? Tomorrow, I’ll march with thousands of others in Edinburgh to say: #ScotlandDemandsBetter 🏠 Affordable homes 💷 Fair wages 🚆 Green Transport 🫱🏽‍🫲🏼 Dignified care 🧱 Stronger social security Change only happens when we demand it. ⏬⏬⏬

Marching today in Edinburgh for Oxfam Scotland alongside thousands of others to say together #WeDemandBetter. On poverty, on care, on better work, on fair and fast climate action. We can do so much better.

REVEALED: there have been 8,000+ private jet flights in Scotland so far this year which could have raised £20m + if we'd had a private jet tax in place. First Minister says he’s very sympathetic to the idea but sympathy doesn’t cut pointless pollution. More: bit.ly/4odzzpx

He's right. This #ClimatePlunder must end Inequality is at the heart of the #ClimateCrisis All governments must tackle it @ScotGovshould accelerate preparations for a Private Jet Tax and all parties should commit to it Read more: bit.ly/4odzzpx @oxfamScotland
