Charlie Mullins, the outspoken multi-millionaire entrepreneur and founder of Pimlico Plumbers, has declared his support for Reform UK following his move abroad to avoid paying further taxes under the new Labour government.
Mullins, who recently sold his iconic London-based plumbing firm and left Britain, told the Andrew Eborn YouTube show he has no intention of financing what he describes as “excessive” new levies under Labour’s leadership.
Mullins, well-known for his straight-talking style, confirmed that Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has personally asked him to consider standing for office—either as a local councillor or as a Member of Parliament—in forthcoming elections. “I’ve always believed in cutting red tape and backing business-friendly policies”. Former Business Matters columnist Mullins said: “Reform UK speaks for many entrepreneurs who are tired of being taxed heavily.”
Farage, is reportedly keen to capitalise on Mullins’ high public profile and vocal dissatisfaction with Labour’s fiscal stance. Mullins confirmed that if he can ‘he will run and give it his best shot’. Political commentators suggest his entry into frontline politics could add significant weight to the Reform UK movement, which aims to attract business owners who oppose higher taxes.
Mullins’ decision to back the party is a further sign of growing dissent among prominent business figures who question the economic impact of Labour’s policies. While Mullins has no immediate plans to return to the UK, he remains an influential voice in the ongoing debate about taxation, business growth, and Britain’s political future.
