Ex-First Minister Drakeford Calls for Wealth Tax

BBC: The chancellor "absolutely" needs to look at introducing a wealth tax to deal with a growing gap between the rich and the poor, according a former Welsh first minister.

Mark Drakeford said the "root of inequality is the way that wealth is distributed across the population".

He also told Walescast it was a "moral imperative" for Labour governments to scrap the two-child benefit cap as a way of reducing child poverty. » | James Williams, Presenter Walescast | Wednesday, July 9, 2025
