Chants of 'Don't protect the women, we can fight. We don't need your fascist shite' rang out in Glasgow tonight. As anti-fascists, women's rights groups and trade unionists protested against 'patriot platform' and their supporters pushing their racist agenda in the city. Things you love to see ✊

The people I have had to cut out of my life because of their extremist and disgusting beliefs towards fellow humans are nearly all Christians. I grew up in the same cult, I certainly know their why faith and exclusive church community is a huge part of why they are how they are.

All week we've had a scorched earth campaign from senior Greens in our media decrying the Zionism is Racism motion as not Green values (it is). Meanwhile they have at the same time been trashing a very settled Green value - our one member, one vote led democracy because they didn't like the outcome.

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,…

Caroline Lucas has been doing the media rounds to undermine and talk down Zack Polanski and her party. She spat on the monumental effort of every volunteer chapping doors and campaigning by being among the most negative voices about Zack and the party w in days to an election!

Also, prior to Zack's leadership there was a significant gap and disconnect between rhe GPEW and the Scottish Green party. Now, there is restored mutual support.

Apples n Spice @applesnspice.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

100%. A lot of people there sat out voting, w 38% turnout, while Labour lost vote share. That wasn't an energised for Labour policy vote. Those folk who stayed home are potentially people already on the fence that might be won over next time.

Apples n Spice @applesnspice.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

I'm not aware of their rules. And it's a good point because it should go without saying that you don't air supposed inter party grievances in national media but to do it at a crucial time for said fellow party member's election?! And with huge investment of limited resources at stake is just, wow.

As an objective observer, it’s clear that Zack has transformed the Greens from a party that sheepishly sits on the sidelines offering practically nothing, to one that ignites national debates and influences government. The Greens would be mad to change leader, stark raving mad.

Her words today sound deeply insincere and insane since Zack's now proven success was in spite of her best efforts to thwart it. He's turned the Greens into an actually winning party. Crabs in a barrel, Caroline strikes again. She gives more grace and hope to pro-genocide, Andy Burnham.

Was talking about how voter behaviour changes and disalusionment to not vote is a step away from a former vote. More potential Green voters to be won over next time in theory. Labour voters tend to be stubborn in leaving Labour.

Thanks for absolutely nothing, Caroline Lucas. Last minute media rounds campaigning against Zack was certainly a choice. The headlines: Caroline Lucas Slams Zack Polanski...

Sounds like natural/normal disappoint in losing a close campaign that people were genuinely invested in. But Labour has held this seat since it's beginning. It was a tall order especially w staunch generational voting habits there. Greens made huge gains. The party building recipe is working.
