The government finally committed to backing the tax and I am genuinely overwhelmed by how this turned out. 273 signatures felt like a small start at the time but clearly you all proved that collective persistence works. Thank you for showing up for this because I never could have moved …

Cymru dros Dreth Robin Hood
Rwy’n cefnogi cyflwyno Treth Robin Hood ar drafodion ariannol, gyda golwg ar godi arian at fynd i’r afael â thlodi a newid hinsawdd, gartref a thramor, gan gynnwys yma yng Nghymru.
Pe gellid gosod treth bitw ond cyffredinol o 0.05% ar drafodion ariannol y banciau, byddai hyn yn codi cannoedd o biliynau o bunnoedd bob blwyddyn i’w gwario ar achosion da.
Rwy’n galw ar Lywodraeth y DU i ymuno â gwledydd eraill yn Ewrop i sefydlu Treth ar Drafodion Ariannol gan sicrhau y bydd y cyllid a godir yn cael ei ddefnyddio i fynd i’r afael â thlodi a newid hinsawdd.
Rwy’n galw hefyd ar arweinwyr gwleidyddol Cymru hwythau i gefnogi’r fath dreth ac i bwyso ar Lywodraeth y DU i’w rhoi mewn grym.
Wales for a Robin Hood Tax
I support the introduction of a Robin Hood Tax on financial transactions, to help raise funds to tackle poverty and climate change, at home and abroad, including in Wales.
A tiny tax of 0.05% on banks’ financial transactions, if introduced globally, would raise hundreds of billions of pounds every year for good causes.
I call on the UK Government to join with other European countries in introducing a Financial Transaction Tax and ensuring the proceeds are used to tackle poverty and climate change.
I also call on Welsh political leaders to support this tax and to put pressure on the UK Government to do so.

I have been overwhelmed by the thoughtful messages appearing on this page lately. Your ideas about how we can fight poverty and change our climate have given me so much to think about as I prepare to reach out to our representatives.

The gap between rich and poor is getting insane. Taxing financial trades is a no brainer if we want to fix climate change and help families in Wales.
Yes pls!! So many good causes could be funded if the banks just gave up a tiny bit of their massive profits.
make them pay up. simple as that.
FINALLY. Hope this actually goes somewhere and doesn't just get ignored again.
why are we still waiting for this??? the gov is too scared of the city of london to actually do anything helpful.

About time these banks paid their fair share. Tired of them taking everything while everyone else struggles.
