@DanNeidle The reason I ask this: I have spent my career working with mid market businesses and my gut feeling (nothing more) is that this would significantly change the behaviour of UK SME owners with significant benefits to the treasury.

[Alex Silk @DickySilk]

@DanNeidle Thank you, as always, for this brilliant analysis. Question: if a governmnent equalised CGT and tax on dividends at, say, 30% (relatively closely comparable to the USA), what would the net impact be on receipts?

@CarolineLucas Are you broken or something?

Claude 5.5 Opus responding to “AI is a normal technology” is still the best AI-created video I have ever seen

@J_Tanswell Superb piece Jacob. Probably the most exciting keeper signing in my lifetime. The physicality of Schmeichel with the passing of Pirlo!

@fesshole @campbellclaret this is supposed to be anonymous. Don’t make it so obvious.

[Alex Silk @DickySilk]

@TorstenBell The "crucial context" you've missed there is a little thing called Covid.

[Alex Silk @DickySilk]

@J_Tanswell Well done Jacob - great work all summer (as always).

@AyoubKhanMP I’m sure you will be applying the same logic when PSG visit in the UCL game soon… I look forward to you upholding your principles #avfc

[Ayoub Khan MP @AyoubKhanMP]

I think you and many like you miss the point completely…either you do this intentionally or recklessly. Maccabi fan base have a group of racist vile ultras that attack residents and cannot be adequately policed. I am proud of my stance because I have protected my constituents!

[Alex Silk @DickySilk]

@campbellclaret You preach to “disagree agreeably” and here you are showing your true colours. One of you or he is advancing humanity. Spoiler alert, it’s not you.

[Alex Silk @DickySilk]

@WarMonitor3 No. Shit. Sherlock.

@HodgsonHoward That’s where I watched the Europa league final! Must be a lucky spot…

[Alex Silk @DickySilk]

@bphillipsonMP @SEANLWOODCOCK Except when sharia law is involved, right?

@BladeoftheS Community note needed pls.

[Alex Silk @DickySilk]

@LondonFire Brilliant work @LondonFire - could have been far far worse!

[Alex Silk @DickySilk]

@PeterDiamandis We have the same issue in the UK - see HS2. The country that invented the railway can’t build a…. railway.

[Alex Silk @DickySilk]

@VillaBoy57 Delighted! Good to know even more of my money is going to Villa 🤣

[Alex Silk @DickySilk]

@meadwaj Hello all. Elderly millennial here. Can someone please tell me if this is satire? I can’t tell anymore. TIA.

@williamnhutton This is so nauseating. I really think he might lose the by-election.

@DV1874 @AVFCOliver A phenomenal achievement from the entire staff irrespective of the result on Wednesday. Win on Wednesday and it becomes the best season of my Villa life. Hats off to you all and UTV.
