O/T:- ⚠️Impressed with the leadership [The UK Party Politics Thread]

There is plenty of money to be found if you look in the right places.

On that note:

The UK now has a record number of billionaires with 177, according to the new Sunday Times Rich List.

That's up six from 2021 - and the combined wealth of the UK's billionaires stands at £653bn, up more than £55bn (9.4%) on the total wealth of the billionaires in last year's Rich List.

The London-based Hinduja brothers, Sri and Gopi, and family are the richest people in the UK with a £28bn fortune, which is up more than £11bn on last year.

It is the biggest fortune recorded in the 34 years of publication of the Rich List.

Overall, the richest 250 people in the UK this year are worth £710.723bn, compared to £658.089 billion in 2021, an 8% rise on last year.

It comes as typical UK households come under increased financial pressure from inflation, which struck a 40-year-high of 9% in April.

Meanwhile, Rishi Sunak and Akshata Murty made the list for the first time, as their joint £730m fortune put them at number 222.

So Rishi and his wife only have £730 million, which doesn't even put them close to the top 200. It's blatantly obvious that the rich are getting richer while the poor are getting poorer.

No problem, let's blame those bloody scrounging immigrants instead!

I am not blaming immigrants I was trying to point out that when a country is having problems many people look for a scapegoat and unfortunately at the moment apart from blaming a useless government which we have immigration often gets the blame. This is not just a UK problem the Italians have elected a right wing government, Le Penn in France vastly increased her vote and Germany is having problems.
Sadly immigrants usually bear the brunt.
