Break out the tiny violins for this Telegraph columnist’s millionaire friends who are all leaving the UK
There’s nothing new about the Telegraph opinion page looking like a product of a random headline generator created by Jacob Rees-Mogg from the Collected Works of Margaret Thatcher and Katie Hopkins.
If you haven’t spotted them in the wild, here’s the montage.
One of the latest Britain-bashing rants came from Sophia Money-Coutts, who had a tale of woe about her social circle. Grab the tissues.
We didn’t detect much sympathy, but we don’t have an electron microscope to hand. These comments give a very good sense of the vibe.

What can have happened over the last 14 years to mean that nothing works here any more?
Or was it all working perfectly for her and her friends until July?

I will never tire of very rich Tories leaving the country because their very rich Tory friends ran the country into the ground for 14 years. https://t.co/xFHDgv2SH6

If you invented a character called Sophia Money-Coutts and put her in a state of the nation novel as an defender of the ruling class you'd be laughed at pic.twitter.com/mLNqAxjcjE

Wait until:
-Sophia Money-Coutts finds out which political party has been in charge of the UK for the last 14yrs until ten weeks ago
-Sophia Money-Coutts finds out her employer the Daily Telegraph supported the same party while it was in power for those 14yrs
She'll be LIVID. pic.twitter.com/iyVWJS4U2x

"Two separate friends and their families have just landed in Dubai for the start of the school year. Another is talking seriously about Abu Dhabi. Another still is about to head to Singapore."
Has anyone told her that her friends aren't very nice people? pic.twitter.com/prl0ClPLeA

Yeah, you don't fix 14 years of neglect in 2½ months, you daft twat. That's why 'nothing works here anymore'!
What you mean is "All of my friends are leaving the UK because they don't like that the Tory cartel got kicked out". #KTTO pic.twitter.com/LSGVox6Fdn— (@EyeofHorrors) September 16, 2024

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. https://t.co/gHA7g9TwzE

It looks like Deborah Meaden isn’t one of Sophia Money Coutts’ friends.
Interesting… they could stay and help fix it… lightweights. https://t.co/oA7w6oSpTE
