Some useful ideas from fellow #TaxJusticeScotland members @futureeconscot.bsky.social on how we can fairly raise more money to invest in climate action 🔽

People aren't daft.
Fossil fuel companies helped light the fire, continue to fuel it, so it’s only fair they help pay to put it out.
What climate action? Stronger public services? Dignified social security? If so, we need fairer taxes says @lmacfarlane.bsky.social at Scottish Parliament.
I explore the urgency and need to do so in this blog for @oxfamscotland.bsky.social for #TaxJusticeScotland.

📚 Hands up if you remember J.R. Hartley’s famous book hunt?
A modern-day version just played out in our Stirling shop. After searching for five years, Paul finally tracked down the book he’d been chasing Iona Celtic Art thanks to our patient team.
A perfect #WorldBookDay story.
Oxfam is responding to the crisis in the Middle-East.

Graphic showing a dark green silhouette map of Scotland with the Oxfam Scotland logo in the top left. In the upper centre are five simplified white human figures in a row, with the first figure highlighted in red to illustrate “1 in 5.” Large white text in the middle reads “1 IN 5 PEOPLE IN SCOTLAND ARE LIVING IN,” with the word “POVERTY” in bold white letters on a red rectangle. At the bottom, a red arrow-shaped button contains the white words “ACT NOW.”
Too many families in Scotland face poverty. Urge Scotland's party leaders to use the Scottish Parliament’s powers while pressing Westminster to do more.

“Scotland’s approach is too reliant on science fiction and too silent on where the significant cash injection needed will come from – that’s a high-stakes climate gamble” @oxfamscotland.bsky.social

Great to see @jrf-uk.bsky.social echoing calls made by #TaxJusticeScotland for all parties to bring forward concrete commitments to consigning Council Tax to the dustbin of history and replacing it with a fairer alternative.

A wide Scottish glen with steep green hills under a cloudy sky. Overlaid text reads: “We’re halfway to net zero. But Scotland’s climate plans are living on a prayer.” The Oxfam Scotland logo appears in the bottom right corner.
Halfway to net zero.
But as we see in today's Climate Change Committee's report, Scotland's climate plans beyond 2030 are living on a prayer.
Too much faith in fantasy future tech. Too little clarity on the cash.
Climate action must be fairly funded to be feasible.
Graphic with a photo of an Oxfam aid worker seen from behind overlooking a crowded camp of makeshift tents. Bold white and black text over a blue sky reads: ‘Israeli authorities’ order to International aid groups: CEASE OPERATIONS in occupied Palestinian territory by end of month.’ A white text box below says: ‘Along with 16 humanitarian organisations, we are taking unprecedented legal action to protect civilians and staff.’ The worker wears a black vest with the Oxfam logo
Along with 16 leading international humanitarian organisations, we are taking unprecedented legal action to protect civilians and staff. The Israeli authorities demand for a new registration system threatens to silence aid agencies and block life‑saving support.

Council Tax is wildly unfair, stuck in the 90s and Scots are done with it.
📊 New polling for #TaxJusticeScotland shows just 2% want to keep Council Tax as it is.
We need to see urgent reform in the next Parliament.
With the Scottish election ahead, parties must commit to a fairer replacement 🎥👇

New polling by Tax Justice Scotland shows that changing the current unfair #counciltax is popular. Council tax is one of the least progressive taxes in Scotland and needs radical change - this could be more progressive bands, an income-based alternative, or a land tax. @oxfamscotland.bsky.social

Scotland can't afford to be complacent.

Oxfam alone has over 2 million dollars’ worth of aid and water and sanitation equipment ready to enter Gaza, but these supplies have been repeatedly rejected since March '25.
Graphic with a bright green background showing a black‑and‑white image of the Earth on the right, covered in looping black flight paths, with a white private jet flying above it. On the left, a large black speech bubble with white quotation marks contains the text: “A commitment to a private jet tax sends a clear message: the super-rich will no longer get a free pass to pollute Scottish skies. Jamie Livingstone, Oxfam Scotland.”
🚨 BREAKING: at today’s #ScotBudget the Scottish Government announced a new tax on private jets, something we've been campaigning for.
The true test will be how tough the tax is: it must punitively punishes the pockets of private jet passengers raising millions for green projects.
