@KuyVon @guardian Other than being a single payment, this is similar in concept. But there are good arguments for a UBI too, for sure.

[Gareth Williams @williamsgareth]

@CAL1963AD @guardian The conventional way about thinking about this idea is that you fund the universal payments with receipts from inheritance tax, the scope or rate of which would be expanded. If you scrap the inheritance tax, that would probably increase inequality.

[Gareth Williams @williamsgareth]

@IstanaAngin @guardian A one time payment, and the idea is that you don't need to work for it. So simple to administer and frees people up (for a bit) to do non-paid work, for example.

@guardian @Robert_Booth it would be really helpful to put this article in its historical context. Not a new idea, reaching back perhaps as far as Thomas Paine. https://t.co/CoT2FNG4D8 Also has been supported on left & right.

@guardian “None may mow in “No Mow May”, but come June all may make hay” was also available to your headline writer.

@DanNeidle A shame - could have been hypothecated.

@KangarooPhysics If they are squares, not cubes, couldn't you just do a 4 x 4 square and stack the remaining one on top?

@harrym_vids Depending on the detail, it might make sense for manufacturers to spin off ICE production into a separate (corporate) vehicle - GT, M, etc. Small volume, high margin, shared R&D costs by contract.

@RichardRubinDC It could be the ultimate, in the sense that it's the last one you're likely to do.

@JudithFreedman Hello Judith. A colleague and I wrote a short piece about this. Constitutional question interesting. https://t.co/voSgYw5EgU

@ADHDFoundation @RossiterJenny @TwentymanDave @LoreleiMathias @adhd_girls @adhdireland Looks like a wonderful event, but sadly (but quite appropriately) I wasn’t a speaker.

[Gareth Williams @williamsgareth]

This is a good degree. You should probably do this degree.

@ExpatEng @AutoPap Based on height, it’s natural competitor is the 2016 Volvo XC70.

@DanNeidle I think an argument might be around diversification and international relations. Sovereigns are generally exempt from tax on their domestic investments. An exemption for foreign investments creates neutrality and probably encourages diversification. Closer links, etc.

@katebevan Nightingale for atmosphere, sharing; Le Crocodile for remarkable French food, wine list, in unassuming location; St. Lawrence for innovation / room, although a bit far East; Bao Bei for Asian fusion / dumplings...

@wilma78 Yours looks better than mine.

Some thoughts on Canada's tax gap report #TaxTwitter

[Lawson Lundell LLP @LawsonLundell]

Canada reported both its gross and net tax gap for 2014 to 2018. The gross gap is growing, and the net gap is not being reduced. Find out more: https://t.co/32NHzhOb7A

@jonj Really enjoyed the paper, and looking forward to the follow up on regular transfers. I think you may have proved that a taste of honey is worse than none at all. See Robinson, et al, 1967.

@wilma78 Might be better suited to Courtney Love's band.
