Britain protects nine equalities.
But not the one you’re born into.

Family wealth still shapes your chances. That’s not fair.

Your parents' wealth still shapes:- your education
- your housing
- your opportunitiesThat’s not fairness. That’s inheritance deciding destiny.

Suggested MP email text:Dear [MP’s name],I’m writing to ask you to support extending the Equality Act 2010 to address socio-economic background.At present, the Act protects against discrimination across nine characteristics, but not the circumstances people are born into — despite family wealth being one of the strongest predictors of life chances.A socio-economic duty was included in the Act but never implemented in England.Please will you support action to address this gap — for example by tabling or supporting an Early Day Motion, raising the issue with ministers, or backing legislative change?Yours sincerely,
[Your name]
