@patmillsuk.bsky.social@patmillsuk.bsky.socialTurns out - thanks to some great fact checking by our friends @taxwatch.bsky.social and @taxjusticeuk.bsky.social - the billionaire actually moved to Monaco in 2014.
When our media is owned by the super-rich - are they really acting in the public interest, or their own?
@patmillsuk.bsky.socialEarlier this week our member Julia Davies spoke to LBC to squash a widely-reported story that a billionaire had fled the country for Monaco because of “threatened tax hikes.”
@patmillsuk.bsky.socialOur country is full of talent that isn't leaving anytime soon - as our member Husayn explains. We’re millionaires because Britain invested in us. Tax us fairly so the next generation gets the same chance.
@costoflivingaction.bsky.socialReposted by @patmillsuk.bsky.socialThis winter, bills are going to be higher than they were at the peak of the Russia/Ukraine crisis.
We must all be protected from this.
COLA has coordinated a letter, telling the Chancellor and @miattafahnbulleh.bsky.social that universal support is needed.
@patmillsuk.bsky.socialWe're proud to be part of @costoflivingaction.bsky.social and on Tues 13 Oct we'll all be in Westminster, calling for a cost of living Budget.

@patmillsuk.bsky.social"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?"

@patmillsuk.bsky.socialOur response to Andy Burnham's Labour Party Conference speech 💬
@patmillsuk.bsky.social"What he needs is lots of cash and millionaires and billionaires have loads of it." Our member Kristina Johansson had an important question for the Prime Minister ahead of his live Q&A on LBC...will he tax our wealth?

@patmillsuk.bsky.socialSunil Kapur, Patriotic Millionaires UK member and maths tutor, has lived in East London all his life. As part of our community conversations series, he took a suitcase of poker chips to a pub in Wanstead to ask his neighbours how much they think is too much. Watch to find out what they thought.
@patmillsuk.bsky.socialLondon: a city of extremes with some of the most expensive properties in the world, while one in five Londoners live in poverty. But what do Londoners think of extreme wealth and how it affects their lives?
@patmillsuk.bsky.socialListen to our member Guy Singh-Watson talk about the pride he has for our country - and why Jim Ratcliffe's complaints about the UK just don't wash.
@patmillsuk.bsky.socialJim Ratcliffe says Britain is "on the slide" so our member @stephenstroud.bsky.social went on 5 Live to set the record straight.
This country built his wealth. We'd like to see him contribute fairly to it, not talk it down.
@patmillsuk.bsky.socialLib Dem conference just voted to name the super-rich's grip on money and media a threat to our democracy.
We're off to Brighton today to push the conversation further at our fringe event with @bobbywdean.bsky.social @petergeoghegan.bsky.social and Tanya Park

@patmillsuk.bsky.socialPatriotic Millionaires member @stephenstroud.bsky.social met up with Granby Four Streets CLT co-founder Hazel Tilley in Toxteth, where we joined local residents to discuss how extreme wealth was widening inequality in Liverpool and their own lives.
@patmillsuk.bsky.socialHello Liverpool - the next stop on our 'conversations about extreme wealth' tour. Here, child poverty is higher than the national average, and if you live in a deprived area, you can expect to live 15 years less than someone in a more affluent one.
