The alternative to cuts in public services
- £95 billion is lost every year through tax evasion and tax avoidance by big business and wealthy individuals
- Another £27.7 billion is uncollected every year by HM Revenue & Customs, because of cuts in staff
- Introducing a Robin Hood Tax - a tiny 0.05 per cent tax on financial speculators - could raise $400 billion globally
- Almost £2billion is being spent on privatising the NHS
- The public now owns several banks - their profits should be used to invest in public services
- Stopping the replacement of, for example, Trident, would save £78 billion
- Cracking down hard on the obscene bonuses of bankers – who caused this mess in the first place – would raise billions more.
