This week we are at the 4th UN Financing for Development (#FfD4) meetings in New York, making the case that #BeneficialOwnership #transparency has cross-cutting importance to fully implementing the Sustainable Development Goals and to supporting reform of the international financial architecture.

The Observer had early sight of our report out next week on the money that funds UK election campaigns. We found that gaps in political finance rules are failing to stop money from questionable sources being funnelled into our politics. More here:

Lots of food for thought in this on combating climate change while easing the impact on workers from the fossil fuels sector, and the challenges of telling what's green washing and what's actually helpful ⤵️

New to bsky! Talk to me about digital policy and open government (I can tell you what not to do when designing policy processes, especially if you're a government official). Always happy to exchange notes on food recommendations, Indian classical dance (or any dance really) and the sunday papers.

New data on farms and inheritance tax: a third of farm estates over £1.5m aren’t farmers but wealthy people avoiding IHT by sinking money into farmland. The Budget hits farmers too hard and tax avoiders too lightly. It needs to change.

Great to see the Foreign Secretary begin his campaign against Kleptocrats and dirty money. Next on the agenda should be stopping opaque trusts hiding property ownership, opening up company registers of the UK's offshore secrecy havens and clamping down on enablers. www.linkedin.com/posts/davidl...
