@danneidle.bsky.social - I have a question. How appealing would making UK taxation citizenship-based? (Ie if you want to pay no tax because you’re in Dubai, you have to renounce citizenship).
I appreciate enforcement would be hard, but we could “sweep up” people who return to live in the UK.

I have been doing some thinking about Universal Basic Income (UBI). It’s a popular topic of conversation but I wanted to examine how it might actually work in practice - at a level that could reasonably be seen as “enough” (ie not £100 per week, but an amount that could replace existing benefits).
