Let's go 2025
I have invested $200M into the UK in the last five years.
If @RachelReevesMP implements “Exit Tax” all that funding will go overnight.
That is countless jobs, companies and people who will lose out.
Rachel, you have managed to steal our hopes, our dreams even our growth, don’t take our freedom also.
@Dom_Hallas 🙏 for his work here 👇

I just met the founder of our direct competitor.
The app we see above us in the charts every day.
The app people often assume we copied because our products are so alike.
And it was one of the most surreal moments of my entire 6 year journey of building Picnic…

So, if you’re on the fence about reaching out to your mortal enemies (aka competitors), perhaps this is your sign.
In my case, it certainly helped that @adamokane turned out to be truly one of the nicest, most grounded and humble founders out there.
Hugeee shoutout to him.
