<p>Pimlico Plumbers founder Charlie Mullins has had it up to here with the UK’s taxes, and he is determined to make sure every one of us knows it</p><p>Always intriguing to watch the emergence of a new publicity circuit, so the warmest of welcomes to the loose collective of multimillionaires currently using their well-earned platforms to announce their imminent departure from the UK. If their number has an indisputable star at the moment, it is the Pimlico Plumbers founder Charlie Mullins, who resembles the world’s oldest boyband member, and sports so much dermal filler that I can only assume that even he lacks the drain rods to address it. Goes without saying I have always had a HUGE amount of time for him. Charlie claims to “often” be mistaken for Rod Stewart, presumably by moles or pavement satirists.</p><p>But you may recognise him from various legal challenges to Brexit, and – last year – <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/08/31/charlie-mullins-pimlico-plumbers-suspended-tweet-sadiq-khan/">the suggestion</a> that “someone should kill” London’s “Muslim mayor”, Sadiq Khan. Back during the Brexit years, <a href="https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/news/article-4167438/I-live-abuse-Brexit-says-millionaire.html">Mullins declared:</a> “Nobody can tell me to shut the window on 500 million customers in the EU, and £225bn worth of trade.” Then, this year, he opted to <a href="https://www.charliemullinsobe.com/nigel-farage-reform/">throw his lot in</a> with Nigel Farage’s Reform party. Please, please don’t try to rationalise it! Just let it flood your home like an uninsured act of God.</p><p>Marina Hyde is a Guardian columnist</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/sep/13/charlie-mullins-farewell-tour-britain-taxes-multimillionaires">Continue reading...</a>
