The widely cited figure claimed an estimated 9,500 high-net-worth had left Britain in 2024. As Tax Justice UK pointed out, 9,500 represents only 0.3% of the UK’s millionaire population.

We are so proud of our city 🖤
There was a lot of concern across the city that we would experience disorder and violence tonight.
