It's time for the Chancellor to give our rigged tax system the red card 🟥 Our Super-Rich Tax Match proved that talent is being held back by unfair rules that favour wealth over work. But just look what happens when we level the playing field...the workers finally win.

The Budget should: ✅ Tax wealth like work by equalising Capital Gains Tax with Income Tax, raising £19.7bn a year ✅ Work towards a 2% tax on wealth over £10m, raising £24bn a year @andyburnham.bsky.social has vowed to end the failure of trickle-down economics. Tomorrow should be the start of that.

People got angry when we rigged a football match in favour of wealth, but were they just as angry about our rigged economy? @adambrichto.bsky.social took to the stands at our Super-Rich Tax Match to find out. The public has a message for you @andyburnham.bsky.social: just do it.

What harms can extreme concentrations of wealth cause to democracy, society, the economy & the environment? Join us to hear from Tania Burchardt, @catherinewestmp.bsky.social, and Sunil Kapur at our public event. 📅3 Nov 2026 buff.ly/GdXRGi0
We asked @adambrichto.bsky.social to come and report on all the drama of our Super-Rich Tax Match. The crowd went wild... with rage at the first half of inherited goals, bribery, and unfair goal tax on the workers.
The match was a bit of fun - but our rigged tax system, that’s the real joke. Come on @andyburnham.bsky.social and John Healey, sort it out. Tax wealth like you tax work and give the real players of our economy - the workers - a fair game.

We teamed up with @adambrichto.bsky.social and partners at @38degrees.bsky.social and @oxfamgb.bsky.social to ask people in Reading about wealth taxes. All across the country, people support making the super-rich pay their fair share. taxjustice.uk/sign-up-to-o...
We really can ask very wealthy people to pay a bit more tax. Our member @mr.place explains why it’s the right thing to do.
Millionaires, unions & charities, side by side. We joined 180+ others in Westminster yesterday to call for a cost of living budget, with @unison.org.uk backing calls on govt to reform Capital Gains Tax. Proud we're one of 40+ orgs in this coalition & well done @costoflivingaction.bsky.social 👏
Turns 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?

This 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. www.theguardian.com/money/2026/o...
We'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. Anyone can attend and travel support is available, register for more details. 👉 https://actionnetwork.pulse.ly/zaewwocvmb

Jim 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.
Lib 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 https://libdemvoice.pulse.ly/dzpv1oktrf
Hello 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.
Patriotic 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.

One billionaire allegedly packs his bags and suddenly it's "tax exodus" panic. Our member @stephenstroud.bsky.social went on Times Radio to set the record straight.
"The Autumn Budget is an opportunity to introduce more effective taxes on the super-rich, because the promise of a better Britain lies in making sure those with extreme wealth pay their fair share." PMUK's @stephenstroud.bsky.social in @the-independent.com www.independent.co.uk/life-style/i...
Even with a wealth tax, millionaires like us will still be richer at the end of the year than we were at the start. PMUK's @stephenstroud.bsky.social explains why a 2% tax on wealth over £10m is fair, common sense and needed. Watch the full report on inequality via @deutschewelle.dw.com on YouTube

Beyond a certain point, concentrated wealth is dangerous: to democracy, to the climate, to the cost of living for everyone. The UK can take an active role in the global fightback. https://theguardian.pulse.ly/2wjf8piffq

What am I missing here? If we have a strong economy, surely we can risk loading a bit more tax on the very wealthy. If not now , when? @patmillsuk.bsky.social
FINANCIAL TIMES: Starmer allies warn John Healey not to squander a “strong” economic inheritance as Andy Burnham signals plans for higher taxes on wealth and business to fund increased spending.
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
