Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly

This is so stupid. Leave the democratic Green Party alone & go investigate & take action on the crypto millions pouring into Farage Plc or whatever it's called

This is so out of touch 🙄 sick of it!! Being "green" at all is extreme today tbh. The centre-left & all the way to the right are climate delayers, doubters, deniers. Neoliberal establishment status quo lovers all. I'm just keen to be in a party on the right side of history. It's too much to ask 🤷🏻‍♀️

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.

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,…

Yes exactly, and we're witnessing a livestreamed genocide so the balance of principled & barbaric is somewhat more clear now. Doesn't change the UK's complicity which is why they're still trying it

Farage has been touting low/no regulation of crypto for a while. Whether the donations from crypto billionaires came before or after is less clear, but a party that claims to be for the working person that's funded almost exclusively by two very very rich men doesn't really look anti-establishment

And, like, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the word “existential” has stopped meaning sexy French people smoking in dark corners and turned into a harrowing discussion about whether our children inherit a civilisation or a famine with great conference centres.

I, like many people, have become very, very wary of the left pivoting to making "Zionist" an all-encompassing identity that can be selectively weaponised. It's totally unnecessary. If you want to condemn the state of Israel, you don't need to bring anything else into it.

I guess I just don't see the point of using a term that can mean almost anything from "hardline supremacist actively carrying out a genocide" to "thinks a particular ethnoreligious group should have a land to call their own, even if they have to share it with others".

If you want a better world we are going to need to be much tougher than I'm seeing from lots of people today. Regardless of what particular motions are passed, they will come for us, and a few negative headlines is just the appetiser. So prepare yourself for the fight. The world is at stake.
