Well if it gives you any hope, in the last couple of years I've written a few tenders for CICs bidding for various E.Mids care services, and there was a strong emphasis (both from ICBs and the CICs themselves) on the integrated care element. So hopefully things are moving in the right direction?

And of course no one was promising it would 'fix the NHS' but more about how trying to 'control costs' (in the traditional way) actually makes costs rise.

This was years ago, and was never presented as a panacea, but was a striking intro to how systems thinking could help. I know that Vanguard's founder John Seddon is extremely critical of how the modern models create costs and make services worse, but that doesn't mean that his solution is best...

I'd be very interested to see if the needle has been moved by some of the changes I've seen in commissioning more holistic care models. When I first saw the below video (there's a way way more in depth version) I was struck by the potential for improvements in care at less cost. vimeo.com/943283319

Well, Jack getting the idea of disguising the ship after hearing Maturin talk about insects. Its not that Jack had done this previously in the books - thats OK, dramatic license etc - its more that it was a reasonably common ruse full stop, not some brand new idea. A pretty minor quibble though!

If this hadn't happened, I'd never have known what "Protect the dolls" was all about, I'd have just thought it was words on a T-shirt. I wonder if the BBC are aware of the size of the Streisand effect that is going to happen as a result.

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,…

Did you know you only need a small brain to make silly little drawings?

4 panel comic: Panel 1: pink blob guy on a table, pencil in their hands. Grey circle on a piece of paper and a glass of water on the table. They say “look here” Panel 2: Proudly, they hold up the drawing of a grey blobby character on two stick legs up in the air. The pink blob says “I drew this!” Panel 3: Satisfied they sit back down on the table. They now go “it’s not much, but..” The grey drawing looks a bit peeved because the drawer is calling it “not much” Panel 4: But it’s okay, because now the pink blob is very pleased finally. He says “it came from my brain!” Holding the pencil up. The grey drawing blob is happy again, too. End well, all well!
