Russian whistleblower Sergei Magnitsky died in prison in 2009 after telling prosecutors of a fraud scheme involving $230 million siphoned from the state. Now reporters have found that, around the same time, a firm owned by the fraud scheme’s alleged mastermind bought flashy properties in Dubai.

The UK economic model is broken. The UK has the worst growth of any developed economy since the 2008 banking crash. And yet the discredited economic orthodoxies of post-Thatcherism still hold politics & media in a vice-like grip. HT @adamtooze.bsky.social

1. Researching my latest column, I was astonished to stumble across this. Sarah Langford presents herself as a guardian of the countryside and champion of rural people and their culture. Yet it’s hard to imagine anything more damaging to rural people than “living between” two homes. 🧵
She now lives between Southwest London and Suffolk.

1. Force foreigners to have eVisas rather than physical proof of status 2. Implement actual use of eVisas in the most lacklustre half-hearted way you can possibly imagine, causing countless issues any time someone with an eVisa has to prove their status. Genius! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Guardian headline:

UK government agency not accepting eVisas as ID from job applicants

Home Office says system changes needed at SIA to allow eVisas, prompting fears of another Windrush-type scandal
