Affluent Plumber Charlie Mullins Contemplates British Comeback from Spanish Exile for Local Politics Involvement
Rewritten Article:
Britain's Richest Plumber Mullins Eyeing Return Amid Reform UK's Success
Charlie Mullins, the multi-millionaire plumber-turned-political-pundit, is thinking about dipping his toes back into the UK's political arena, inspired by Reform UK's recent electoral victories. With a net worth of £145 million, Mullins is currently enjoying the sun abroad in Spain and Dubai, steering clear of Labour's "tax grab."
Originally from South London, the 72-year-old entrepreneur has expressed interest in contesting a local council election in his home area, specifically Bermondsey, Lambeth, or Southwark, or even trying for a seat in the Commons if a by-election arises.
His support for Reform UK is well-documented, and he finds the party's success in the recent elections "progressive," further fueling his political ambitions. The poll on May 1 saw Reform UK seizing control of 10 councils and winning more than 650 council seats, leaving both Labour and the Conservatives with a bleak night.
When asked about his intentions, Mullins stated, "The more Reform advances, the more I'm drawn to them. I'd certainly consider returning for a by-election or a council seat."
While Mullins was previously eager to become a councillor, he abandoned the plan due to fears of having his OBE revoked over controversial social media attacks on Sir Sadiq Khan. The Honours Forfeiture Committee, led by the Cabinet Secretary, had expressed concerns about Mullins' OBE, citing offensive remarks on social media platforms such as Twitter. However, Mullins states that the allegations leveled against him were "absolutely rubbish," and he's happy to return to the UK if Nigel Farage assumes leadership.
Currently, Mullins spends his time between a lavish villa in Spain and a property in Dubai, where he plans to invest further. His business has made millions paid into the system for several decades, but he voices discontent over the mismanagement of public funds.
