Thats funny how journalists ignore elphant in the room; UK non-domicile (non-dom) tax regime was officially abolished on April 6, 2025.

So a lot of high-earners would now have to pay UK taxes on worldwide income. So they left the country or only stay there mininal amount of days to not be considered resident.

Many high street businesses were working for these people with tons of disposable income.

Also criminal situation was little better when these high-profile people were roaming London streets. No one wanted something happen to them.
