There is surely nothing more patriotic than 120 millionaires, including Gary Lineker, Brian Eno, Val McDermid and former Greggs chairman Ian Gregg, saying: “We want you to tax us.”
So, to those who have consistently argued against taxing the rich, particularly the Tories and Reform UK, can you now come up with a list of millionaires who are opposed to this move?
Not millionaires you claim will leave. Not hypothetical millionaires. Actual millionaires who oppose being taxed more.
Because if taxing the rich is supposedly such a terrible idea, surely finding them should be easy.
When Lavrov complains to Rubio that Europe is trying to inflict a strategic defeat on russia, it's a nice sign that Europe is on the right track. The sooner russia loses, the better for all of us.
Farage is in serious trouble with only 22% of the public seeing him in a favourable light
The public are divided 38% to 35% in their opinion of Andy Burnham, in our first favourability poll of his premiership, making him the most popular new PM since Theresa May
Nigel Farage’s latest net favourability rating of -46 is the joint-lowest figure recorded by our favourability tracker in the 10 years it has run

Robert, spare us the pantomime.
Gary Lineker did not drag the government to court so he could pay less tax.
HMRC tried to reclassify his freelance work as employment under IR35 and hit him with a £4.9 million bill he did not owe. He took them on, won the case, and proved they got it wrong. That is not tax dodging. That is making the taxman stick to the rules instead of inventing them.
Defending yourself against a false bill is completely different from choosing to support higher taxes. One is your right. The other is putting your money where your mouth is.
You, on the other hand, are busy sneering at millionaires willing to pay more while the Met Police are investigating a £37,500 donation to your own Tory leadership campaign. The Electoral Commission referred it because part of the money allegedly came from a foreign source. You say the claims are false. Fine. The investigation is still running.
So whose side are you really on? Not the ordinary voter in your constituency watching services get cut.
Not the people who actually need the system to work.
You talk tough about tax while your own campaign finances are under scrutiny, and you still found time to abandon the Tories for Reform after failing to lead them.
You lecture others on hypocrisy while the police check your receipts. That takes a special kind of nerve.
The likelihood is that Trump will announce tomorrow
"a massive planned attack on Iran has been called off at the last minute because they want a deal"
Deja vu
Why might a political party who have incited violence, are up to their necks in organised crime and have been taking money from billionaires with no hope of a return on investment, be so eager to collapse a murder trial after one of their own was killed?
Just asking questions.
@wallamazoo@HQmindd Yes, decay causes heat.
The exciting part is that atoms which make up the body are eventually recycled into the environment through natural processes.
@RobertJenrick Bobby likes skewing facts, doesn't he?
It's not Lineker.
It's 75% of UK millionaires polled, with the letter signed by over a hundred patriotic UK millionaires (14 times as many people as Reform has MPs)
Reform: sick, thick and full of shit.
