Hi, I've donated £15 - please understand that I'm contacted by numerous Gazans every day, so I can't afford to give large amounts to all of you, but I hope even my small donations can help to some extent. My heart of course goes out to all of you, suffering the worst genocide in living memory 💚💚💚💔💔💔

Fiona Bruce hears “tax the rich special” and immediately goes on the defence…

Deflect.

“Uh… I think we talk about ‘cost of living’ every week!”

Phew. Gotta protect her Tory paymasters! 😅

It’s the continued lack of investment (partly driven by low taxation of the super-rich) that’s the real reason 30% of young Brits say they’re considering leaving.

If Britain wants to keep young workers, it must invest in the future — not protect billionaire carve‑outs. 9/9

The Conservatives, the only party openly promising tax cuts, are the least popular.

Asking people to pay their fair share may drive away a minority of the greedy few. But ordinary people aren’t obsessed with tax rates. They want a country worth living in. 8/9

& young people’s voting intentions appear to show the complete opposite of what the mainstream media has been claiming.

The political parties most committed to taxing the super-rich and extremely profitable companies command the majority of young people’s support. 7/9

The closest thing to “evidence” offered in these articles that the problem is taxes is some of those leaving are moving to low-tax UAE.

But that undermined by other popular destinations such as Canada, Australia & Spain— with similar or higher taxation rates than the UK...

That means despite what billionaire-owned newspapers like the Telegraph & Daily Mail are reporting based on... well, nothing in particular, it’s the lack of investment in this country — NOT TAX RATES —likely motivating these moves.

In fact, higher taxes would help fix nearly every problem on the list (except rainy summers).

⚡️Better investment in infrastructure = cheaper bills
🏥🏫Better public services = better lives for families
🔒Better social security = less crime & less fertile ground for racism

Sky‑high living costs 💸🏙️
Childcare they can’t afford 👶💰❌
Burnout & poor work/life balance 😩💻⏰
Rising crime 🚨
Far‑right racism 😡
…and yes, the weather 🌧️☔🌪️

Notice what they didn't say:

❌Because taxes are too high
❌There’s too many immigrants

Rather than report biased junk as many do, assuming the reason is whatever policy you don’t like, a reporter from the i Newspaper had the radical idea to actually ask those leaving why they're leaving.

I've interviewed expats all over the world - this is why people are leaving the UK
Living in Lisbon, my body is no longer in fight-or-flight mode. Other expats who have left London for warmer, safer climates feel the same
