Yes. That’s me. Again. I’m not going away anytime soon - Bloom’s investment is great - but it’s also a full stop - other than James Anderson we will be the only folk contributing and we need to continue supporting the Foundation accordingly.

“Apple set the tone” when Tim Cook gave Trump an engraved, glass disc. This week, the Swiss delegation gave him a “special Rolex desktop clock” and a $130,000 gold bar.

Greens propose a 1% tax on wealth over £10m. It would raise £15bn/yr.
Survation and Patriotic Millionaires UK found 80% of millionaires support a 2% tax on wealth over £10m. Of the millionaires polled who would have to pay such a tax (those with wealth of £10m+), 85% of them were in support of it.
