The widely cited figure claimed an estimated 9,500 high-net-worth had left Britain in 2024. As Tax Justice UK pointed out, 9,500 represents only 0.3% of the UK’s millionaire population.

The British “wealth exodus” is a big fat myth.

Well, well. Trump goes where Rachel Reeves fears to tread, despite Labour manifesto pledge. How about it Rachel? https://t.co/InXWU53SvB

Kier Starmer wants public-sector productivity to improve. I sent my manifesto. It explains how regulation impedes productivity and how to change regulation to drive productivity up. No reply.

Good to see former colleagues on the picket line at King’s Place #observer

Q for James Harding: why would you want to take over an organisation whose employees have acitively rejected working for you?

[Hadley Freeman @HadleyFreeman]

Full solidarity with my friends and former colleagues at The Observer who are on strike today. Whatever you think about The Guardian shedding its Sunday paper, it’s undeniable that Guardian management has handled this whole thing appallingly (1/?)

Many consumers don’t know they are stealthily being charged higher prices through surveillance pricing. Good @RanaForoohar in the FT https://t.co/7iR3O0aSyf

I’m running the Great North Run for @SBRFoundation as part of Sir Bobby’s Team - writers who admired, loved or worked with the great man, wearing football style tops. Hope he would be tickled by that.

Cancer can do one.

Cross about dynamic pricing? Get used to it, it’ll soon be be everywhere. Much creepier is surveillance pricing - and it’s already here.

[Newcastle City Council @NewcastleCC]

We are so proud of our city 🖤

There was a lot of concern across the city that we would experience disorder and violence tonight.

Instead we saw a Newcastle united by love, hope and pride in our city.

This is our City. A City of Sanctuary 🤝

The price we’re paying for the ‘free’ internet - first targeted ads, now surveillance pricing
