A group of millionaires who made their fortunes in everything from turnips to turbines is campaigning for Britain’s wealthiest to pay more tax – and they want Rishi Sunak to join them.
Guy Singh-Watson, founder of vegetable box supplier Riverford Organic Vegetables, and Dale Vince, the Labour-backing boss of energy firm Ecotricity, are among the nearly 40 backers of Patriotic Millionaires UK (PMUK).
Founded in 2021, the organisation is an offshoot of America’s Patriotic Millionaires, whose members include the Disney heiress Abigail Disney.
The UK group’s members also include Ian Gregg, former chairman of the Greggs bakery chain that was founded by his father, and James Perry, co-founder of ready meal firm Cook.
They argue that millionaires like themselves should contribute more to public services.
Instead of virtue-signalling and demanding that the state steal our money, just send any extra cash to HMRC and shut up about it. Or, better still, do something useful with it and invest in stuff directly, instead of expecting the evil, avaricious, incompetent, malevolent state to do it.

Dale Vince – a subsidy junkie. probably makes more money from subsidies for “green energy” than from actually supplying energy. Perhaps as a start he could refuse to take these subsidies…. thought not – these people never stop sucking on the taxpayers teat.
He also bankrolls just stop oil, so he’s a double cnut.
“Dale Vince – a subsidy junkie.”
So presumably he wants other people to give more money to the government so that the government has more money to give to him?
Nothing patriotic about higher taxes. In fact a true patriot would want as low taxation as possible.
