Two crypto-billionaires, Ben Delo and Christopher Harborne, have both announced £36 million donations to Reform UK this week. When billionaires are buying our democracy, is it time to cap political donations from the super-rich?

The median FTSE 100 CEO earns over £5 million a year. That’s 130 times more than the average UK worker, and a £1 million pay rise in the last 3 years alone. When so many people are struggling to pay the bills, is it right that fat cat CEOs are cashing in?

A 2% wealth tax on just the richest 15 families in the UK could raise over £5bn a year. That could cut household energy bills by an average of £150 a year using @jrf_uk's Rising Block Tariff proposal. Check our our full Sunday Times Rich List analysis at sharethewealth.org.uk

The big 4 banks made £45.7 billion in profits in 2025. Imposing a similar windfall tax to oil and gas companies on the UK income of HSBC, Barclays, Natwest and Lloyds would raise billions to invest in the NHS.

CEO of Barclays CS Venkatakrishnan was paid £15 million in 2025, up from the £11.6 million he earned in 2024. When so many of us are struggling to pay the bills, should the bosses of big British banks be getting multi-million pound pay rises?

Why are 8 out of the UK’s 10 richest people missing from The Sunday Times Tax List? When they are worth tens of billions of pounds, surely they should be on the list of the country’s biggest taxpayers? #TaxTheSuperRich
