Phil Kerry, CEO of New Horizon Youth Centre, has drawn attention to the disparity between extreme wealth and growing social need in the UK, following the publication of the 2025 Sunday Times Rich List.
Kerry compared recent political commentary on immigration and low-paid work with the makeup of the UK’s richest individuals. “Only two of the Rich List Top 10 are from the UK,” he said. “20% of social care roles are fulfilled by people born outside Britain – immigration white paper necessary. 80% of the Rich List Top 10 are people born outside Britain – let’s celebrate it in a national paper.”
