We all know tax goes up the more you earn... right? 🤔 Not quite. For most people, yes. But at the very top, something strange happens.. Average tax rates paid: 💷 Top 10% → 39% 💷 Top 1% → 37% 💷 Top 0.1% → 34% 💷 Top 0.01% → 30% And 1 in 4 of the ultra-rich pay 20% or less.

The Labour Party’s women’s conference on 26/9/26 was an embarrassing farce, with only 200 delegates of the 1,000 normal attendance (no major unions) in protest of the Labour Party’s shameful abandonment of trans people following the legally absurd ruling of the Supreme Court in FWS in April 2025.

London: a city of extremes with some of the most expensive properties in the world, while one in five Londoners live in poverty. But what do Londoners think of extreme wealth and how it affects their lives?

🍾 Every Billionaire with a UK tax footprint now has a personal HMRC tax compliance manager! That's great news. Since scrapping it's High Net Worth team about a decade ago, HMRC's grasp on the tax affairs of the Super-Rich has been inexcusably poor... 1/3 news.bloombergtax.com/daily-tax-re...

HMRC Assigns Tax Compliance Manager to Every UK Billionaire
The UK tax authority has assigned a personal compliance manager to every billionaire within its reach as it seeks to get a better grip on the super-rich’s tax liabilities.

one of the most important questions about AI today. And it’s not just the fact that lots of data gets passed to the companies, but that a small number of people are consolidating control over a lot of information today. Concentrated control over info isn’t a new problem but it’s in a new domain

This is the story behind Dolly Parton's hit song "9 to 5". In the 1970s women in office jobs faced discrimination. They were paid less, passed over for promotions and experienced sexual harassment. The 9 to 5 movement was established to fight for better treatment of working women.

A well known edtech platform that most parents in UK will know is recruiting and has this in the ad spec; "You will interrogate our dataset to uncover national trends (e.g. the link between attendance and attainment) to create proprietary value)" At this point it's just sadness, really.

Wealth inequality is the defining issue of our time. It is at the heart of the cost of living crisis, the climate crisis & the democratic crisis. Burnham must make it his priority. Rewriting national & international tax systems is key. www.theguardian.com/inequality/2...

5/ We see compulsory voting as a response to that. Because voting is a duty - if we expect people to pay taxes or do jury service, why don't we expect them to take part in our democratic system? And because many more of us are less well represented because of low and unequal turnout.

When pay runs out before the end of the week, it's irrelevant whether the next thing you need costs 50p or £50. Before getting in an arithmetic tangle over 50p>0, pause instead on what you would do if one week you had to choose between feeding your kids or brushing their teeth.
