PPE Medpro refuses to pay the debt which is now £145m.

The Government needs to charge the debt to Michelle Mone and Doug Barrowman and then put out an arrest warrant.

They can sit in prison until the pay.

I couldn't agree more. The human suffering that Billionaires cause is vast and undeniable. We need more change makers like MacKenzie Scott, who is giving her money away to those in need, at a lightening rate.

A #BillionaireMeToo is a collective declaration that hoarding obscene wealth while others struggle is not normal, not acceptable, and causes huge societal damage.

We are millionaires, and we are adding our voices to say: this system is wrong. #TaxTheRich

Holding govts to ransom.

Goldman Sachs warns Rachel Reeves against tax rises on banks.

Banks happy to be bailed out, take QE, mis-sell products, not to be prosecuted for frauds, hike charges, pay lousy rates on savings.

Need windfall taxes. Raise top rate of income tax.

140,000 affordable homes built under @thesnpmedia.bsky.social government.
100,000 of those homes for social renting.
That’s the progress of an SNP government

400 Americans have more wealth than all 70m in the UK.

The richest 0.1% of the UK have more money than poorest 50% of UK.

Do you see how it works, do you understand how ridiculously rich the richest have become.

The richest 0.1% are 42x richer than in 1970, you got 12%.

That's a positive first step. If we can build more social homes and follow Nation's like Finland's lead, we can prevent more people from dying on our streets and stop money going to private Landlords who make so much from temporary accommodation.

"It’s not as if there aren’t plenty of media-ready Palestinian or Palestinian-American guests to choose from, chief among them Palestinian-American Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, who has not appeared on any of the major Sunday news shows since 2019."

Shopping at the low cost Supermarkets on the weekend is an experience 😬

EU billionaire wealth soared by over €400bn in just six months. This is enough money to hit Net Zero emissions in the UK about 3 times over, and maybe buy yourself some socks. I don't know. I don't know what you do with that kind of money. Wait, yes I do. TAX IT.

Text stating European billionaires earn 2 billion euros daily in the first half of 2025, with falling euro banknotes in the background.
