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 i Paper @theipaper.com · 4d agoNeil Kinnock has urged Andy Burnham to increase tax on assets as a new poll reveals two-thirds of voters back the introduction of a “wealth tax” Read more: trib.al/jhQxnU0
Our country and its people need investment and those with the broadest shoulders - people like us - should be the ones to do it #TaxTheSuperRich
The cards are stacked against people - it doesn't have to be this way #TaxTheSuperRich

"It's never one person who creates wealth" Our member Julia Davies on the Good Morning Britain sofas this morning as 120 UK-based millionaires - including Gary Lineker and Brian Eno have signed a letter urging the new Prime Minister to tax their wealth.
"Tax us more" That's the simple message from more than 120 UK millionaires calling for a tax on extreme wealth. PMUK member Brian Eno joined Sky News this morning to explain why those with the greatest wealth should contribute more to build a fairer Britain. #ProudToPay #TaxTheSuperRich
Today, along with 120 other millionaires our letter to the new Prime Minister asks for one thing: tax us, the super rich. As millionaires, we're proud to pay and we're here to stay. 👉 Swipe to see some of the well-known faces who have signed the letter.
The Extreme Wealth Line project is a transdisciplinary initiative aiming at the introduction of an extreme wealth line (EWL), just like we have an extreme poverty line. The project has now published its two foundational papers, as LSE-III working papers #171 and #172: www.lse.ac.uk/internationa...

Millionaires like us can afford to be taxed more, we want to pay, and we would be proud to pay - because we all want to live in a country that's thriving. If you haven't seen @garyseconomics.bsky.social documentary yet, get it on catch up and YouTube #TaxTheSuperRich #TaxWealthNotWork
"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.
"We've got to stop normalising this idea that it's normal to try and avoid contributing to public services and infrastructure if you can massively afford to do that." Did you catch our member Julia on @garyseconomics.bsky.social documentary?
Looks like a wealth tax is an ace with the Great British public - as Brighty Buoy found out at Wimbledon. Do you support a 2% tax on wealth over £10m?
It doesn’t take big balls to tax the super rich. Unfortunately Lord Christian Brighty thinks even little balls are too much share! #TaxTheSuperRich #TaxWealthNotWork
Just seen #HowToGetFilthyRich with @garyseconomics.bsky.social ? Want to help us win a Wealth Tax? Well with a new PM incoming & public pressure at fever pitch, this is our moment. Make sure the first thing on Burnham's desk is a demand for a #WealthTax! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/de...
What does a wealth tax actually look like? We sent Brighty Buoy and his tiny balls to Wimbledon to chat to fans 🎾
We asked Lord Christian Brighty to explain what a wealth tax actually looks like. But it didn't quite go to plan for poor old Brighty Buoy 🤪
"It's dying on it's feet." That's what a local thinks about this town centre owned by one extremely wealthy person - this high street is just one thousandth of his wealth. Extreme wealth affects us all. @adambrichto.bsky.social
🚨 BREAKING 🚨 💸 The UK lost out on £59.2bn in unpaid taxes last year— that means 6.4% of all tax owed was avoided, evaded, or accidentally unpaid. That’s according govt’s new Tax Gap report (2026): www.gov.uk/government/s... 1/3

We've teamed up with comic book artist and member of Patriotic Millionaires UK Charlie Adlard to get other millionaires to back Great Britain—because there's no place like home.

We’re not weird, we’re part of the 75% of millionaires who would be proud to pay more tax. #TaxTheSuperRich #TaxWealthNotWork 🎤 @adambrichto.bsky.social
"We need initiatives such as the extreme wealth line project that aim to find out...the threshold at which wealth begins to cause harms, and where to place the “wealth line”, just as we use the “poverty line” to determine what an adequate income is for people to live on." extremewealthline.com

A poverty line marks deprivation. An extreme wealth line would mark dangerous concentrations of power. As trillionaire wealth emerges, we are arguing democracy needs both.

"That's too much money it's GOPPING!" So here's an idea: if there's a poverty line that says you've not got enough, why shouldn't there be a line that says you've got too much? We agree and we think it's time to draw an Extreme Wealth Line. 🎤 @adambrichto.bsky.social
@jeevunsandher.bsky.social's blog shows how Britain's economy has come to reward ownership far more than work. There's room for tax reform that asks more of accumulated wealth, supports productive investment, and helps to build a fairer economy #taxthesuperrich https://substack.pulse.ly/rwptzrp5ac

"Well they're not shopping @aldiukstores.bsky.social" Do you think extremely wealthy people affect you? Watch the penny drop: MONEY = POWER! @adambrichto.bsky.social
We went to Newport with @adambrichto.bsky.social to surprise the public with our undercover millionaire. People assumed millionaires wouldn't want to pay more tax, but they were shocked to find out not only does Julia want to, but 75% of UK millionaires polled would also be proud to pay more.
"Recent exchanges in the Mandelson files point to a striking tension at the heart of government: if Labour MPs are increasingly focused on who should be taxed, why on earth do senior Cabinet ministers reportedly regard this as the wrong question?
