A billionaire-owned media apparatus relentlessly pushes scare stories, successfully tricking ordinary homeowners into thinking a “wealth tax” targets their modest family homes rather than offshore holdings and multimillion-pound assets. Outlets constantly tell us that billionaires are leaving the UK because of new taxes – even those who actually left a decade ago – and quote “millionaire flight” figures from a seriously flawed report. It doesn’t matter if they are not true – these narratives successfully penetrate the hearts and minds of parliamentarians."
