Most of their wealth is derived from physical assets in their country of domicile. It’s not like they can pack a Kensington mansion in their suitcase. 2025-06-22T10:58:26Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqspakac8r600mytxqerx9n87ygent94wac8dr5675nz38gz0q4kkxqzyqwmyfkm9mqzcan5s034klxp6dc868g0t4e0yufws3w8lzw32nu9gg8a2cq The Equalities and Human Rights Commission has opened their new consultation on their code of practice.
