Labour can end austerity by taxing the rich, argues George Monbiot. The party should embrace the "tax and spend" model, which is essential for public investment in healthcare, social care, education, and infrastructure. Austerity measures under the Conservatives have hindered progress, and a genuine levelling up is necessary across regions and classes. Labour must challenge the wealthy's belief that they are different and that taxes are only for "little people."
