Jack Lenox @jacklenox.com · 06/06/2026Interesting piece from @danneidle.bsky.social on whether Britain has "run out of other people to tax". Much is right: the UK taxes ordinary and low-paid workers lightly by global standards, and you can't fund a big state from the very wealthy alone. But it overclaims where it matters. 110
