The majority of the UK’s richest are happy to live here & pay their taxes.

But what about the greedy few that use the UK to get rich, then bail when it's time to pay their dues?

The UK needs a settling up tax, just like 🇺🇸 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇳🇱 🇨🇦 🇦🇺 🇪🇸 🇮🇹 🇳🇴 🇯🇵.

What’s the point in claiming the Russia/Ukraine war would never have started if you’d been president if you then go and start another one…teaming up with a country that’s already accused of genocide somewhere else?
