Today's episode of Untaxing unfolded the history of the napkin, asked whether it's true that tax rises reduce tax revenue, and looked at the experiment the Scottish government are kindly conducting to discover the peak of the Laffer curve.

My take on the latest greyhound injuries stats - 1 in 8 racing greyhounds injured in 2024. About 1 in 15 killed. The State subsidised the sport with €19.8m in funding last year:

Britain’s Coal Age ended not with a bang but a quiet flick of a switch. The last coal power station was recently shut down and the nation that birthed the steam engine no longer burns coal for energy – a milestone we barely noticed. So, what are the implications? | Janne Korhonen
The momentous and forgotten end of coal power
The end of coal power marked a key moment in the UK's transition to clean energy. Did anyone notice?

When someone's pet passes away, give them time and support them while they work through it. Their pet was a beloved friend who completely depended on them. They were responsible for every decision about their pet's wellbeing, especially the final one. It's a huge emotional load to carry.
