If we name people relying on public money as scroungers, then it's worth being honest about which institutions do the same - costing the public hundreds of millions of pounds every year.
The monarchy, for one.

Whether the royals help tourism or not is irrelevant. It's not a reason to abandon democracy.

Our FOIs found that Lord-Lieutenants, the King's personal representatives in each county, cost over £2m in expenses last year. They're entirely ceremonial, and completely archaic. They have to go.

Christmas is a time when many families are watching every penny. And yet, the monarchy continues to cost the taxpayer an estimated £16.18 every second.
The cost never takes a day off.

Christmas at Sandringham is framed as a private family tradition. But the estate itself was bought in the 19th century using money increased by Parliament for royal duties. It should belong to the state. ☃️

Germany's head of state costs them £39m each year, while our royal family is estimated to cost over half a billion pounds (and they're so secret we don't even know the precise cost!). How have we got the better deal?

Small sums for very wealthy people and about 150,000 homes are worth over £2 million so that's hundreds of millions for the exchequer.
But bear this in mind - King Charles won't pay a penny on his many homes which are mostly worth far more than that.

The Chancellor tells us difficult decisions will be taken this Budget - but she's ignoring the millions we spend on the monarchy every year.
Here's what we could fund instead. 🧵

Despite supposedly being "private estates", the Duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall don't pay corporation tax. If they did, taxpayers would be £12.8m better off every year.

King Charles is reportedly giving Andrew Windsor a six-figure sum and an annual allowance.
It's said to be out of his "private income" - but in reality, it comes from his Duchy's rent on public land.

He's had to leave his mansion (in exchange for another).
But when will we see him behind bars?
