Six and a half years after my stage 3 melanoma and eighteen months after it returned in my lung I’ve just had two new scans come back clear again. Thank you NHS!

16,500 millionaires will leave Britain? Total rubbish. Yet leading figures of the right have fallen for it, including the Shadow Home Secretary! It takes just 30 seconds to expose the truth:

Look at who’s repeating this line with absolutely no fact checking. None of them thought to ask the most important question: Who’s behind the story, and why?

The company pushing this figure is Henley & Partners. It helps rich people flee abroad to avoid paying tax. So it’s like asking a car salesman if you need a new car. That’d be fine if their approach were sound. Sadly, that’s not the case.

The research doesn’t actually track where millionaires live. It just looks at *where they say they work* on LinkedIn. So if you change your office location, you’ve ‘moved countries’. Things get even more misleading when you see who they’re tracking – and who they’re not.

Henley only tracks millionaires with >$1m in liquid assets (like cash and stocks). That’s only 20% of UK millionaires, so it’s heavily skewed towards the most mobile ones. But the biggest problem is that the 16,500 figure is a *forecast*. How are they seeing the future?

There’s a lengthy section on Henley’s website explaining their methodology. What do they say about how they get to the 16,500 figure: nothing. Let’s be generous and assume it’s accurate. Even then, it’s a very underwhelming stat.

16,500 is only 0.63% of millionaires. That’s less than 1 in 100. If 100 people are at a party, and one person leaves, would you call that an exodus? And there’s one final killer detail.

The number of UK millionaires has grown 10x faster than those leaving! Since 2017, we’ve gained 435,000 millionaires while allegedly losing 41,400. So is Britain losing all its millionaires? No. Literally the opposite is true.

BrexitDuck It’s never been exempt from tax I don’t think

BrexitDuck How? Currently it’s deducted from the personal allowance (about £12,500 for everyone) and anything above that is taxed at 20%. So what are you suggesting? That they’re going to reduce the basic universal personal allowance? I very much doubt it

BelindaSales. Can't admit to themselves they voted for something stupid

Nigel Farage MP Is that the end of Reform then ? 🤣🤣🤣

Nigel Farage MP Reform are extremists. Politicising one of the worst terror attacks the UK has ever suffered, is very Reform. Tone-deaf and racist. Stick your Islamophobia where it hurts.

Nigel Farage MP Yes, Nigel 7/7 was barbaric and all types of extremism should be shunned including religious. But MI5 says 1 in 4 terror threats now come from the far-right. That’s your turf. Don’t pretend to fight extremism while giving it a pint, a mic, and a makeover.

Nigel Farage MP The lesson of Farage is don't listen to a word he says. He's already cost the UK £40bn

Eh? Really this is what you criticise me for - trying to get retailers to live up to their legal rights. It is literally my job. Are you going to criticise someone who works in a garage for "Fixing bloody cars, the UK has more pressing problems than that car not working" Never
