🍬 Trick-or-treat with NatWest, Barclays, Lloyds + HSBC 💰 #TaxTheBanks this #Halloween 🎃
Channel: Positive Money
Date: 30/10/2023

We took to the streets of London to 'trick-or-treat' Britain’s four biggest banks - HSBC, Barclays, Lloyds Bank and NatWest - as they announced a collective £41 billion in pre-tax profits for the first nine months of 2023 💰 

This Halloween it's not black cats we should be frightened of - but fat cats. 🍭 Higher interest rates have treated them to billions in unearned profits, while we've been tricked with soaring debt, rent and mortgages payments. 

🎃 This Halloween, let's put an end to trick-or-treat policies. 
Tell Jeremy Hunt to #TaxTheBanks, sign the petition: bit.ly/windfall-bank-tax

SCRIPT:
The spookiest story this Halloween, 
Is of four headless horsemen rolling in green, 
NatWest, Barclays, Lloyds and HSBC, 
Have made billions in profit in 2023. 
That money came from high interest rates, 
Which left us struggling to put food on our plates.
A tax on these profits is our mission, 
If you feel the same way, then sign our petition.
