My full speech at Budget Council last night, this went further than just parks and Stockport. I highlighted the unequal tax burden on our poorest people, who pay 48% of thier income in tax and the wealthiest who pay 38%. That is before we start talking about wealth and assets.

If we wish to fund our public services then we must ensure those with the broadest shoulders pay their fair share, this is especially relevant for those companies who shift their profits abroad to avoid paying tax.
