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. 🧵

Now shipping, ready for Black Friday: the UK monarchy, for only half a billion. What a deal.

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.

You know what's really scary this Halloween? Just how much we spend on the monarchy, that's what. 👻

So Andrew's no longer a prince.
He's had to leave his mansion (in exchange for another).
But when will we see him behind bars?

Despite what the royal family would like you to think, royal patronages have been proven not to have any effect on charities' income. Another reason to replace them.

The Times found that Prince Andrew pays a "peppercorn" rent for his Royal Lodge mansion - during a cost of living crisis, and despite everything he's done. He has to go.

The funds for Andrew's £12 million payout came from the Queen's Duchy of Lancaster - using public land and the public's rent. Our money, paying for royal scandals.

William is charging the taxpayer £1.5m a year for HMP Dartmoor - which is currently closed indefinitely over dangerously high radon levels. Is this the head of state we want?

William says he wants to change the monarchy when he's king. Why not start with the spiralling costs? We've taken the liberty of selecting a few he could start with... 🧐

Despite the Duchy of Cornwall being owned by the nation, it gives William almost £24m in profits every year. This isn't right.

On the Queen's passing, Charles should have paid over £260m in inheritance tax. But he didn't - the monarch is exempt. It's one rule for them, another for the public.

It costs a family almost 3× more to visit Buckingham Palace than the Palace of Versailles in France - even though very little is actually open to the public at the former.

Our taxes aren't enough for them.

Let's hear it from someone else now - the monarchy costs an estimated half a billion pounds each year.

This can't go on.

Despite the Duchies having been proved time and time again to be our land, Charles and William receive all the earnings. We pay the rent, they pocket the prize.
