Wow. Donald Trump is giving money to Putin’s war machine so he can keep killing innocent Ukrainians and attacking democracies across Europe. The UK must lead a coalition of the willing that stands up and says no.

Opened in 1804, the Rochdale Canal ran through Gauxholme, with a series of locks and a dedicated wharf. By the mid-19th century, heavy carrying firms, had built large warehouses along the canal to transport locally produced cotton goods and bring in coal from nearby mines. By

đź§µThis was the type of Yorkshire landscape that was the catalyst of my lifelong passion for the 18th-mid 20th century history of the region. That and a history teacher who brought the agrarian and industrial revolutions vividly to life. It was a history you could relate to.

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment.

Taxing Entrepreneurial Wealth: Evidence from
Norway, 2021-2025
Marius A. K. Ring
WORKING PAPER 35854|
DOl 10.3386/w35854
ISSUE DATE October 2026
Whether imposing higher taxes on business owners adversely affects business activity by constraining investment and inducing capitalist flight is a central question in the ongoing debate on how to tax the ultra wealthy. To shed new light, I exploit a series of related Norwegian reforms during 2021-2024 that increased dividend tax rates, removed migration-related capital gains tax loopholes, and nearly doubled the effective marginal tax rate on business wealth. These reforms spurred international debate and, allegedly, an "exodus" of Norwegian billionaires (Financial Times,
2023). While I document clear effects on migration, these responses are concentrated among the top 0.1% of the wealth distribution and mostly confined to 2022 and 2023. My results indicate that at most 100 individuals left due to the reforms. I find no evidence of significant outmigration or reduced inflows of startup founders or inventors. I estimate that absent any outmigration, wealth tax revenues would have increased by 75% from 2021 to 2024. Reform-driven outmigration lowers the revenue gain to 71.5%. My findings further show that outmigrating owners' firms remain economically active and do not reduce investment. In a broader set of analyses, I examine whether business outcomes are affected, regardless of whether owners outmigrate, since firms may reduce investment both due to liquidity constraints or distortions to owners' savings decisions. I compare firms owned by Norwegian individuals subject to the wealth tax with firms owned by foreigners and other tax-exempt entities. By merging historical ownership data from Orbis with the Norwegian shareholder register, I perform these analyses on both Norwegian and foreign-domiciled firms.
Across settings, I find no evidence that Norwegian-owned firms pay out more dividends or invest less after the reforms,…

đź§µOne of my dad's favourite books as a child was Jack London's "Call of the Wild." It used to make me cry! Perusing Banned Book week I was surprised to discover that London's left-wing views led to this book being banned by Fascist regimes in Italy and Yugoslavia in the 1920s/1930s and later burned

the Civil War, Captain William Blythe reportedly modernised the house using materials salvaged from Sheffield Castle. In 1884, Sheffield Corporation acquired the estate to create Meersbrook Park. The house remained a park keeper's residence until 1974, before opening as a community museum in 1976.

Bishop's House is one of only three surviving timber-framed  buildings in Sheffield. Built around 1554, this structure demonstrates the traditional regional style of framing from the late medieval and Tudor periods. Unlike some urban variants, Bishop's House combines a robust stone lower foundation layer to ward off ground-level rot and weather damage, topped by the classic black-and-white timber framing on the upper floors

the Derbyshire hamlet of Norton Lees, its name comes from local legend. Folklore claims it was built for two Blythe brothers who became bishops, though no records confirm they lived there. The Blythe family, prominent farmers and scythe makers, owned the land from the 14th century until 1735. During
