Charlie Mullins

I saw this on television.
Good for him. I don’t blame him.

Oh dear another name I’ve never heard of looked him up but not come across him before
Up to him where he lives

Apparently he has paid £120 million in tax over the years. UK based entrepreneur. Selling up now and shipping out. No different (just a bigger scale) than a recent thread on here about how to avoid paying IHT.

Meh. Like the so called Pastor who also went onto social media to tell the world he was going, I fail to understand the need to announce he's leaving. He's not that important nor that interesting

Except to HMRC perhaps.
And all the people he employed.

But it’s interesting that many millionaires are bailing out of the country because they don’t want to give even more of the money they’ve earned to the taxman.
I don’t blame them.

Actually Charlie Mullins is a very interesting person. He started out from nothing and built an enormously successful plumbing business, employing thousands of people, and made himself extremely rich in the process.
Good for him.

No one seemed bothered that Brexit supporting Dyson moved a lot of his manufacturing to Singapore thus depriving the UK of those jobs. But now someone is doing just that under a Labour government it’s shock horror, what about the workers…

If he can find someone to pay £12 million for his flat.

Hmm

He sounds like an absolute plonker, multimillionaire or not.

I believe he sold the business in 2021, so he doesn't employ anybody now.

He’s 71. Basically he’s doing a self publicity tour before retiring to Spain.

Dubai I think.

Don’t know who he is but heard of Pimlico plumbers. cheerio Charlie, off you go to sunny places where shady people roam.

Dubai I think.

Both, according to the Guardian…

That's interesting maddy, I assumed he was working class origins simply by the contempt flowing from the Guardian article.

I think he sold his plumbing business back in 2021 although I believe he still has a small shareholding

I think he sold the business too.
He was working class Galaxy, Broad accent and starting out from absolutely nothing. I say well done to him. Amazing the nasty comments on here because he’s quitting the country. It’s up to him. Dyson has got nothing to do with it. This is about Charlie Mullins, who had nothing and made himself a multi millionaire by his own hard work. In doing so, he employed many people and paid a lot of taxes. He owes nothing else to the country.

Look at the evidence from other sources though Galaxy.

He doesn't owe anything to the country, and nor do we to him. Who cares if he retires abroad? Lots of people do.

He made a fortune with a very employee-unfriendly business model, sold up and tried to make a media career as a spokesman for banning policies such as furlough, working from home (as though plumbers could do that anyway!) and other family-friendly policies. He's a dinosaur, and as far as I'm concerned his accent and background have nothing to do with anything.

I think you misunderstand the tone of the comments maddyone, I’m glad he’s going. I prefer people with a social conscience, however wealthy they are, and he has more than a few skeletons in his closet.

As I remember, there were comments about Dyson leaving too, blaming his departure and loss of jobs on Brexit (under the Conservatives) shock, horror

Why shouldn’t there be comments about Charlie Mullins if he says he’s leaving because of something the LP is doing and why shouldn’t there be equal amounts of horror?

The way things are going many multi millionaires will leave the country due to high taxes.

I also read that if Labour keeps going on the way they are doing, there could be a vote of no confidence in Starmer and he could be called before the King who will ask him to stand down, the same as what happened to Truss. They say that the publics perception of him has never ever been as low as it is now because he has made it clear he hates pensioners.

Get him out, get him out.

Dream on BigBopper, there isn’t going to be a vote of no confidence any time soon. Look at the way Labour MPs voted for the WFP.
