This year marks the 10th anniversary of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership of the Labour Party. His rise came at a time of significant political division, evident as right-wing candidate Liz Kendall received only 4.5% of the vote. Today, Kendall holds a key position in government, overseeing potential cuts to disability benefits, a proposal met with resistance from figures like Diane Abbott and Sharon Graham, who advocate for a wealth tax to address inequality. The shifting political dynamics illustrate how priorities can change radically over the decade, eliciting fierce debates on social justice and wealth distribution.
Diane Abbott argues for a wealth tax instead of cuts to disability benefits, urging the government to reconsider its priorities in light of extreme wealth disparity.
Sharon Graham reinforces the call for a wealth tax, criticizing government decisions that impact vulnerable populations without addressing the significant wealth held by the richest families.
