He needs to be way bolder on EU, at the moment he's hanging off Burnham's coat tails.

This is quite extraordinary. I don't think I have heard a more coherent, articulate and accurate deconstruction & demolition of Nigel Farage's ReformUK, Tory & Restore policy than this. In under 85 seconds! @rafaelbehr.bsky.social is on here folks and worth a follow.

It's been a lesson on how easily triggered I am, and fair enough, maybe I could do some work around that. I've got someone I can talk about that to later this week. But if I can't get it in check think I might be better off staying private.

And of course, bigots never accept it's bigotry, especially when they consider themselves to be coming from a well intentioned place. But homophobia used to be considered well intentioned. It was culturally acceptable bigotry to the point it wasn't considered as such.

I've been fairly private and stoic for the most part, but after 17 years that was becoming draining, so decided to be more public and advocate more this year. Wasn't prepared for the downsides to that, more exhausting than the private stoicism!

Struggling with well intentioned ableism from those who mean well but are fundamentally ignorant on #MECFS Ableism is bigotry, and bigotry doesn't necessarily need to come from a mean place, just ignorance. And sometimes it feels like willful ignorance.

Zelensky: "When our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. A lot of people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations... It’s pretty clear where those bots were coming from."

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

Taxing Entrepreneurial Wealth: Evidence from
Norway, 2021-2025
Marius A. K. Ring
WORKING PAPER 35854|
DOl 10.3386/w35854
ISSUE DATE October 2026
Whether imposing higher taxes on business owners adversely affects business activity by constraining investment and inducing capitalist flight is a central question in the ongoing debate on how to tax the ultra wealthy. To shed new light, I exploit a series of related Norwegian reforms during 2021-2024 that increased dividend tax rates, removed migration-related capital gains tax loopholes, and nearly doubled the effective marginal tax rate on business wealth. These reforms spurred international debate and, allegedly, an "exodus" of Norwegian billionaires (Financial Times,
2023). While I document clear effects on migration, these responses are concentrated among the top 0.1% of the wealth distribution and mostly confined to 2022 and 2023. My results indicate that at most 100 individuals left due to the reforms. I find no evidence of significant outmigration or reduced inflows of startup founders or inventors. I estimate that absent any outmigration, wealth tax revenues would have increased by 75% from 2021 to 2024. Reform-driven outmigration lowers the revenue gain to 71.5%. My findings further show that outmigrating owners' firms remain economically active and do not reduce investment. In a broader set of analyses, I examine whether business outcomes are affected, regardless of whether owners outmigrate, since firms may reduce investment both due to liquidity constraints or distortions to owners' savings decisions. I compare firms owned by Norwegian individuals subject to the wealth tax with firms owned by foreigners and other tax-exempt entities. By merging historical ownership data from Orbis with the Norwegian shareholder register, I perform these analyses on both Norwegian and foreign-domiciled firms.
Across settings, I find no evidence that Norwegian-owned firms pay out more dividends or invest less after the reforms,…

"Zionism is racism" is an old antisemitic KGB propaganda slogan. No surprise that Corbynite tankies are using it. (Yes Netanyahu should be in the Hague)

Actually, as a not traditional Labour voter I'd have supported anything to push Corbyn out. He was naive, tetchy, incapable of leadership and a brexiter. I'd never have voted for him. And I've witnessed antisemitism from Corbynites firsthand outside my kids school gates during 2019 GE campaigning.

Yes they did, they agreed to the Peel commission. The Arab nations didn't. They didn't want a Jewish or a Palestinian state. Went downhill after that.

The land was bought legally and no one complained about it. The expansion of that land after being attacked for declaring it a state is where things went south.

Zionists bought the land and the Arab Nations had no issue with that. It could have stayed private property with no complaints. It's only after that private property was declared a State that it all went downhill.

That interest wouldn't have existed if there was no one wanting to live in an Israeli state. They're not the salient point here. Zionists were accepting a 2 state solution in creating Israel.

Adrian Farrell 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇦 @adrianfarrellat.eurosky.social · 05/10/2026

"In principle" was meant to imply that the creation of Israel was compatable with a two state solution. Sorry, should have been more explicit, especially as I thought you'd reply as you did.

Not true, Israel agreed to UN 2 state plan in 1947, and in principle in 1937 through the Peel commission.
