Do you believe everything you read in the Grauniad?
You have fallen into that old left wing trap, tax more is the answer. As Melchett has already pointed out the budget is massive, most of it already goes on Social Security and the NHS (pensions, other welfare and Health i.e. 52% of total spend for fy 2017-2018). The tax rates rates are already fairly punitive in the UK. If you think that the likes of Philip Green will pay more, then dream on.
'Only the little people pay tax.' And, I feel I pay more than enough thanks. There are still many in our society taking the Social Security system for a ride.
