"Support working families—raise the income tax threshold to £20,000 today."

We urge Chancellor Rachel Reeves and the Treasury to raise the income tax threshold to £20,000. The frozen £12,570 allowance punishes low earners amid a cost-of-living crisis. This change is vital to ease hardship, reverse fiscal drag, and support struggling families across the UK.

Raising the tax threshold to £20,000 would put money back into workers’ pockets, boost the economy through spending, and restore dignity to those earning modest wages. This is a test of political will. Will the government stand with workers—or keep taxing them into precarity? Fairness must be non-negotiable. We urge citizens, journalists, and MPs to amplify this call, share the petition, and demand action. Let’s make economic justice a priority.
