His call comes as the Sunday Times Rich List reveals the UK’s 151 billionaires are worth £525billion, 9.2% more than last year.
And the total wealth of the 1,000 richest is £771billion, only £18billion less than the Government’s spending in 2017/18.
One in 10 on the list were reportedly planning to shift their wealth offshore to avoid a tax increase if Labour wins a general election.
The Labour leader called the list
“a stark reminder of the grotesque inequality that scars our society”. He added: “We see the rich getting richer, while pay for the majority hasn’t risen in a decade and household debt rises. Everyone on the list should publish where they are registered to pay tax and how much tax they have paid.
“Labour will reprogramme our economy, so it stops just supporting a tiny few at the top and starts to reward the many who do the work, create the wealth and pay their taxes.” The Hinduja brothers, with £22billion fortune, still top the list. Brexiteer Sir James Dyson, who is moving Dyson’s head office from Wiltshire to Singapore, climbed seven places to become the fifth richest person with £12.6billion. But scandal-hit retail tycoon Sir Philip Green has lost his billionaire status for the first time in 17 years. His fortune is said to have halved to £950million, putting him and wife Tina at 156.
