He is already resident in Switzerland and has property in Dubai and is buying up more development land there.
In what way is he NOW “quitting” the UK and why?

We all know we’ve entered the “they’re banning Christmas” season now poppy rage is over on social media.
But I didn’t expect actual newspapers would take the confected outrage by anonymous far-Right Twitter accounts and turn them into “news” stories!
But here we are in 2025🤷🏼♀️
