## Resource

One hundred twenty UK millionaires, including Gary Lineker, Val McDermid, and Brian Eno, are boldly calling for higher taxes on extreme wealth — not to hoard more, but to fund public services, tackle inequality, and boost small businesses. Organized by Patriotic Millionaires UK, their “Proud to Pay” campaign proposes a 2% tax on fortunes over £10 million, potentially raising £24 billion annually — plus another £12 billion from adjusted capital gains. With 80% of millionaires backing the idea, they argue this isn’t just fiscal policy — it’s a moral rebalancing to rebuild a fairer, more hopeful Britain.
