I was extremely fortunate to have benefitted from a Leverhulme ECR fellowship back in 2014-2017. It gave me the support to develop the research for my book and to take the next big step in my academic career. Forever grateful.
From untangling the evolutionary roots of plant variation to how medieval nuns mastered the art of credit, we’ve had some fascinating applications for this year’s Early Career Fellowship scheme. The Trust is pleased to announce 152 Fellowships in this round. Congratulations to the 2025 cohort!

Why is money made from wealth taxed less than money made from work?
Reeves should align Capital Gains Tax with Income Tax — it’s fair, and it could raise £14bn a year.
A simple fix to a rigged system.

The chancellor’s plans to raise capital gains and inheritance taxes next year are expected to drive more wealth creators out of the country, accelerating an exodus triggered by April’s dropping of “non-dom” status ⬇️
