"Millionaires and billionaires aren't paying their fair share. I'm one of them and I'm calling it out. A nurse doesn't get to decide if she pays her taxes, why do millionaires and billionaires get to decide what tax rate they're gonna pay?" PMUK's Kristina has a message for the PM #TaxTheSuperRich

Our response to Andy Burnham's Labour Party Conference speech 💬 #TaxTheSuperRich
We welcome the Prime Minister's vision to bring hope back to our country and communities.
And we repeat our longstanding message: we're ready to play our part by paying our fair share, so Britain gets the investment it needs to make that vision a reality. 
This country helped to build our success. So millionaires like us must be taxed more. It's our turn to step up first and help build a better future for everyone.

What is too much money? That's something we don't talk about enough as a country where the wealth divide is spiralling out of control. So we headed to Poole - a town split between the super-rich and everyone else - to talk about it, and how it affects everything from jobs to house prices.

A wealth tax is common sense, not rocket science. Of course people - including millionaires like us - overwhelmingly support it. £24bn a year for our country could be raised with a tiny 2% tax on wealth over £10m. It's time to #TaxTheSuperRich

"The concept that it's kicking the rich to ask them to pay a really moderate amount of tax is just such nonsense. Nobody says it's kicking working people when they've got to pay income tax." Millionaires like Julia and @garyseconomics.bsky.social want to be taxed more. The Govt must listen.

Responding to the result of the Makerfield by-election
Responding to the result of the Makerfield by-election, Mark Robinson  member of Patriotic Millionaires UK said:

“As Labour reflects on its future direction, whoever seeks to lead the party should recognise that there is a strong public appetite for a fairer tax system. Our own polling shows that three-quarters of UK millionaires are willing to pay more tax to support the society and economy from which they have benefited.

“Labour has a final opportunity to show that they are prepared to confront inequality, strengthen public services and ask those with the broadest shoulders to contribute more. A bolder approach to taxation is not a political or economic liability. It is an essential part of rebuilding trust that the government can deliver for ordinary people.

“Voters are looking for leadership that matches the scale of the challenges facing the country. That starts with a tax system that works for everyone and not just us, the richest.”
