They do. They pay more than their fair share. The issue is the government spending is out of control. They are incompetent, giving them more tax is futile. It’s just more money wasted on terrible policy. Wake up. Money doesn’t grow on trees and you can’t print it without huge inflation

His company employs thousands of people in the UK (in mostly well paid manufacturing jobs). He's also investing in Manchester with his part-purchase of Man Utd. He used to be the 3rd highest UK taxpayer so has paid hundreds of millions in tax to the UK. Wish I had a friend as bad as that!

Well, there is a certain logic to his position: if the non-doms move to another country then they won't spend any money here. Whether they will move is the question but if they do then we lose tax revenues. If they stay then we'll gain tax revenues but no-one really knows.

Ineos spend 60bn pa but where? Ratcliffe complains about Non Dom status changes but his Grenadier production was set up in France after the Brexit he promoted. This is what you get from the vastly wealthy people who promoted Brexit. Dyson the exactly the same same. Bamford's JCB the same, manufacturing across the world.
Net migration into UK is now about 700,000. Before Brexit, it was about 200k per annum. These are all people we have INVITED in because of our desperate labour shortages. This is now despite the fact we supposedly have control again of our borders. The water companies like many privatised industries have simply sucked money out of the economy for their shareholders leading to a drastic fall in investment and we see the consequences. Its insane to privatize an industry where there can be no competition. If I am dissatisfied with my local water company, I can hardly buy my water elsewhere. This has happened across the board under the Tories. Don't forget though, that the wealthy have become even more fantastically wealthy over the last decade both in UK and in America, a fact they conveniently want us all to forget and so invent smokescreens over asylum seekers and whip up rabid racist xenophobia such as the lunatic right wing fringe of Farage and reform.
His father was a working-class joiner so we can't say he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He's probably one of the few genuinely self-made men.
@@Lawrence4000-s3kPeople get very jealous that people like him are smart enough to make themselves millionaires. We all get different opportunities & types of luck in life. All the best to him & those that work hard in his businesses…
He's right about the lack of security. There's been no police on the streets for quite some time and Safety and Security is one of the basic Maslov Hierarchy requirements. I've witnessed a raid in a small town chemist and the nearest policeman was 5 miles away. It's crazy.
It is very interesting to see the vast majority of comments fixating on the fact that Sir Jim is based in Monaco, even though his company is based in London, I saw one mix him up with Dyson and think he is based in Singapore. The main point is he is the most successful person in the UK and surely that is someone that it may be good to listen to. There are literally millions of people who amount to the sum total of nothing, quite few in the comments. Yes he did support Brexit, but also is happy to say the Tories have run it badly, the Tories have also got half the income generated to run the country and too much of that money is being wasted. He is against Woke and pro running the services correctly, I am sure most people agree. If you privatise services make sure those services are focused on providing great service and not great dividends. He is wrong about the number of net immigration, it is closer to 900,000 not 500,000, that too many people in too shorter a time, the services cannot cope and it doesn’t allow for assimilation into British society. The same but more extreme can be seen in Ireland, but also Sweden and Germany. People need to forget about being jealous of this chap and more bout what he says.
Typical for a man having done very well for himself and hence totally incapable of doing anything for the greater good. Keep your money and keep out of politics.
I would argue that he is more than capable of doing things for the greater good but won’t, so we totally agree but just in different ways if that makes sense?
And evade taxes by living in a tax haven...so should we listen to an emigrant by choice who has deserted his place of birth...unlike those who come from afar due to life and death situations when they flee war and drought?

No one will invest in infrastructure because it will be in the red. I'll give you an example. US infrastructure development is in the red by 120% of the budget. Japan is in the red by 200%. Infrastructure always ends up in the red.
everybody should and must pay taxes, but if the money is spent recklessly, which it is, move out UK, go to Monaco, and stop paying taxes. It's simple. That exactly what he did. His companies still pay a lot of taxes in UK.
The guy that has absolutely runied my hometown since 1997 with ineos, air pollution is off the charts, he doesnt employ anyone local to the site apart from cleaners, hes done nothing for the town, he only cares about himself.
I think JR recognises he'd be overwhelmed by the complexity of running a government. He actually acknowledges he lacks the awareness of the diverse range of people in the UK.
He has some interesting points but as many have said he decamped out of the UK, built his Landy factory outside the UK. We are all aware of the failures made by this Govt. What is he looking for in Manchester, I think he wants a lot more than the Football Club?
Sadly, most Brexiteers seem to ignore the fact a) UK native population isn't actually going up as people have fewer kids and b) that their Brexit is now prohibiting people from actually EMIGRATING from the UK to either work or retire easily in the rest of our own continent 🥴👍 So if you are worried about overall populations, probably a better idea to allow Britons to leave as well as organising a strategy to control movements of people that are travelling throughout EUROPE to get to the UK (which we now cannot be a part of as we have left the EU..) 🥴👍 What we are doing now is saying No to European movement (which wasn't wildly significant, anyway), blocking our OWN freedom of movement and relying on the Asian workforce to now run our hospitals and social care, all at the same time as being horrendously understaffed in various other sectors. The UK's issues are all its own making and largely the fault of risk-taking idiots that probably should stay out of politics, like this chap here.
Thought he made a lot of sense. Disagree on his opinion of non-doms - if they make money here they should pay our taxes. But apart from that he was spot on.
It doesn't matter. The rich can't take their land, or houses, or oil refineries with them. The mega rich will never leave the UK, it's where they come to launder their money and to keep it away from countries that would confiscate it all in the blink of an eye. If they have to pay a bit more tax that's just part of the cost of doing business.
They don't pay any tax now so what's the loss? And don't say they spend money here, that's just a drop in the economy ocean. They want the benefits of living in the UK without paying their fair share.
It sounds mind-boggling when you hear people like Sir Jim Ratcliffe talking about £ trillions but at the end of the day I suppose it's just the natural successor to billions. Sir Jim Ratcliffe actually sounds quite okay, where a businessman is concerned.
He is not the right guy to comment on this as he has no credibility living in Monaco and commenting on UK. Get a billionaire who is domiciled in UK and pays a large amount of tax in UK to speak. Ratcliffe is a hypocrite. At least 1 in 7 billionaires with substantial business interests in UK live in a tax haven as per LSE. Warren Buffett pays a lot of taxes and lives in the US rather than moving to Monaco. He is qualified to preach to US on their economic policy. Very low quality politicians running the country for the last 13/14 years with Liz Truss being the worst. Keir Starmer looks like another low quality candidate to join this list.
Non does is only a UK thing. Needs to be like USA as a citizen you are taxed on global income. Or You can only quality to not pay tax in UK if you stay less than 60 days(includes travel days). This is like Sweden and other countries. The mega rich dont pay the tax levels the rest of us pay. Make capital gains tax at 45% or top income tax level.
Great to see a non-U.K. taxpayer telling the U.K. how to spend their tax.

No one will invest in infrastructure because it will be in the red. I'll give you an example. US infrastructure development is in the red by 120% of the budget. Japan is in the red by 200%. Infrastructure always ends up in the red.
What was he on about? Making a lot of noise without a single original or unoriginal idea.
everybody should and must pay taxes, but if the money is spent recklessly, which it is, move out UK, go to Monaco, and stop paying taxes. It's simple. That exactly what he did. His companies still pay a lot of taxes in UK.
The guy that has absolutely runied my hometown since 1997 with ineos, air pollution is off the charts, he doesnt employ anyone local to the site apart from cleaners, hes done nothing for the town, he only cares about himself.
He sounds very down to earth to me.
Vote Conservative Party. Not Labour.
Vote Labour.
Ha ha ha …
Vote something but please not the Tories they have made a complete hash of everything
It’s hard to take someone who thought Brexit was a good idea seriously
He knows Labour would be better for business. Simple.
Smart guy , but made a terrible decision with Brexit.
Why anyone is asking this man his opinion about anything just astounds me.
I think JR recognises he'd be overwhelmed by the complexity of running a government. He actually acknowledges he lacks the awareness of the diverse range of people in the UK.
Talks a lot of sense apart from what he say's about Starmer.
He is not talking to, or including, the working class here. Cannon-fodder.
Let so many people into the country, it’s called growth to work in NHS, Education
So many comments moaning about Brexit, we voted OUT so get over it
billionaire is sad about billionare taxes. Thats in 30 seconds of video. Bye.
He doesn't care about the UK taxes because he moved to Monaco 4 years ago!
Speaks alot of sense here.
England is not the UK !
He has some interesting points but as many have said he decamped out of the UK, built his Landy factory outside the UK.
We are all aware of the failures made by this Govt.
What is he looking for in Manchester, I think he wants a lot more than the Football Club?
We in America don’t lock em up either!
He and the Tories are finished
I’d pay my taxes if I had his money
Sadly, most Brexiteers seem to ignore the fact a) UK native population isn't actually going up as people have fewer kids and b) that their Brexit is now prohibiting people from actually EMIGRATING from the UK to either work or retire easily in the rest of our own continent 🥴👍
So if you are worried about overall populations, probably a better idea to allow Britons to leave as well as organising a strategy to control movements of people that are travelling throughout EUROPE to get to the UK (which we now cannot be a part of as we have left the EU..) 🥴👍
What we are doing now is saying No to European movement (which wasn't wildly significant, anyway), blocking our OWN freedom of movement and relying on the Asian workforce to now run our hospitals and social care, all at the same time as being horrendously understaffed in various other sectors.
The UK's issues are all its own making and largely the fault of risk-taking idiots that probably should stay out of politics, like this chap here.
People just want honesty and integrity even if hard choices have to be made
Says he's not woke or PC enough, but he's a fan of Starmer? 🤔
Did he say he supports Starmer. Sounds more like a Farage supporter.
A lot of logic here its just a pity our political classes aren`t capable of the same.
Owes £4bn in taxes
My my yet another socialist billionaire spouting. And what's worse he is from Failsworth 😂😂😂
billionaires are one of the big problems
Clever Man
Lol. Tax dodger talking about running country 😂😂😂😂😂
Mercedes F1, Manchester UTD, Brexit, Tories all his backing brings it down... please shut up
'They bring a lot of wealth to the S. E of England' - no, they take a lot out of the UK
Thought he made a lot of sense. Disagree on his opinion of non-doms - if they make money here they should pay our taxes. But apart from that he was spot on.
Such a hypocrite. Turkey votes for Christmas then moves to lalaland. Pay your taxes in the UK.
And Labour think that people with this sort of money will not turn tail and run from the UK?
It doesn't matter. The rich can't take their land, or houses, or oil refineries with them. The mega rich will never leave the UK, it's where they come to launder their money and to keep it away from countries that would confiscate it all in the blink of an eye. If they have to pay a bit more tax that's just part of the cost of doing business.
They don't pay any tax now so what's the loss? And don't say they spend money here, that's just a drop in the economy ocean. They want the benefits of living in the UK without paying their fair share.
As a Newcastle fan, I'm not a fan of Jim ( don't you know who we are ? ) Ratcliffe. The days of bend over we are Man Utd are long gone pal.
Does it matter what he votes,he's not struggling
They've had enough of Tories but Labour isn't going to save them either.
It sounds mind-boggling when you hear people like Sir Jim Ratcliffe talking about £ trillions but at the end of the day I suppose it's just the natural successor to billions.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe actually sounds quite okay, where a businessman is concerned.
Oligarchy took over UK 😂 Londongrad
What is the politicians' incentive? When you understand that, you also understand today's challenges.
Don't know why. His sort are the people the Tories mollycoddle and look after...
Lots of very ill-informed opinions expressed here. Being very wealthy doesn't make you an expert on everything.
We've had enough of toxic, divisive populist policies full stop.
Are you fucking woke or what.
Let’s save the NHS
He should go into politics.. great points
More people should equal more tax. More infrastructure. Tories put it all offshore. Immigration not the problem .
Jim*
None of the Conservative PMs have been successful 👌🏽
He right we done with the tories but we was already done with labour , VOTE REFORM
Brexit done differently. I'm not woke. Immigration. Can someone show this guy the exit?
Sure, ask a billionaire what to do. Sure. Bloomberg. Sheesh.
He is not the right guy to comment on this as he has no credibility living in Monaco and commenting on UK. Get a billionaire who is domiciled in UK and pays a large amount of tax in UK to speak. Ratcliffe is a hypocrite. At least 1 in 7 billionaires with substantial business interests in UK live in a tax haven as per LSE. Warren Buffett pays a lot of taxes and lives in the US rather than moving to Monaco. He is qualified to preach to US on their economic policy. Very low quality politicians running the country for the last 13/14 years with Liz Truss being the worst. Keir Starmer looks like another low quality candidate to join this list.
Trying to curry favour with Keir
It was UK and US that said let is accept immigrants. Why shift the blame to France?
Eh???? Which bit of it did he blame France?
Non does is only a UK thing.
Needs to be like USA as a citizen you are taxed on global income.
Or
You can only quality to not pay tax in UK if you stay less than 60 days(includes travel days).
This is like Sweden and other countries.
The mega rich dont pay the tax levels the rest of us pay.
Make capital gains tax at 45% or top income tax level.
He’s built an impressive business but he comes across as clueless about government
