I don’t have £2 million in assets, and I don’t earn £200k a year. I’m quite short on both counts. So the HMRC wealth audit doesn’t impact me. Yet. But it signals a clear intention. A lack of respect for the individual. What is yours is only yours until the government decides they want it to fund further welfare expansion. Property rights only exist in this country as long as your holdings are meagre enough to escape the fiscal Eye of Sauron. They will come for it all.

No. The scariest thing here is what HMRC considers wealthy. £200k/pa OR £2M in ASSETS And apparently, out of a population of £68ish million inhabitants, there are only 850,000 of these 'wealthy'. We are so irredeemably fucked. xitter.cf/JenKteach/status/21142…

What exactly is progressive about refusing planning permission for a cheap supermarket during a cost of living crisis?

when you see an “expert” in the media talk about a topic you’re quite familiar with, it really makes you question all their other “experts” for all the other topics

Norway's fund works because Norwegians can look at $2.4trn of Nvidia and Palantir shares for twenty years and not touch it the people most upset Britain never built one would have forced it to dump Palantir after the first demo and spent the rest on nurses in the first recession

The way Britain's electricity grid is run reminds me of something I've seen before, and I can't quite put my finger on it.
Juliet Samuel
@CitySamuelOct 19
It’s official: a legal investigation has found engineers in Britain’s electricity grid control room are stressed because renewables make it so hard to keep the lights on. And when they raise concerns, managers won’t listen - they only want “good news” thetimes.com/article/413d547…

Billions of pounds lost on a single project because we can’t connect it to the grid for half a decade and have destroyed our capacity to generate reliable electricity.

Every time the UK does some crazy tax or speech thing, you just have to remember that all the US has to do is permit any STEM grad to get a visa and they would hoover up a big chunk of UK talent.

‘What it calls a flying car’ The UK attitude which drives so many entrepreneurs abroad. This isn’t just the BBC, it’s ingrained in every institution and into the public psyche. Tall poppy syndrome has likely destroyed trillions in value for the British economy. Pathetic.

City Plan 2040 has cleared a major hurdle with the Planning Inspectorate's sign-off. That means more certainty for the investment, jobs and development needed to keep the Square Mile globally competitive. Hear from our Planning & Transportation Chairman as he visits one of the City's most significant schemes, 25 Finsbury Circus. 🎥⬇️
