Philanthropy is not a way of avoiding tax - it can reduce your tax bill to zero, but at a cost of twice what the tax would have been. Me defending family foundations in The Telegraph telegraph.co.uk/money/tax/phil…

Just not convinced by this. For a dog whistle to work, some people must recognise it. If Keir had said, "we must be mad, literally mad...." or "will have the whip hand" is one thing...but who associates "island of strangers" with Enoch Powell? Virtually no one

Does the BBC have a problem with Jews? The Corporation claims it has to be even handed - but just compare its Israel/Gaza coverage with its exemplary handling of Russia's invasion of Ukraine Me for Ira Stoll's The Editors substack.com/@michaelmosbac…

This is a slightly bizarre piece for The Economist to run....speculating on politics if Farage died. But suppose a compliment to him, as argues Reform would wither & politics transformed. Same can't be said of Keir, Kemi, Ed etc

Marx understood that capitalism and the quest for wealth led to massive societal advances. His critique of the bourgeoisie was not a moral one. This Labour Govt's moralising disdain for the rich doesn't get that. Me in The Telegraph telegraph.co.uk/money/tax/karl…

Interesting piece about prestige German media prize set up by Quandts (BMW family) & how they grew rich under Nazis. Discusses wartime boss Günther Quandt's crimes, but doesn't mention his wife Magda (of the Bunker), who went on to marry Goebbels theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Always astonished how little BMW is tarnished by its Nazi associations. You would think fact that man who rebuilt BMW post-war Harald Quandt (alongside his Nazi half-brother) was Joseph Goebbels' step-son might soil brand. It hasn't.

Have never heard of Cameron Thomas MP & no fan of Lib Dems. But if all Sun has is what's been published, what a load of nonsense. A few mildly flirty text messages, whilst foolish on official trip, should not be a career destroying event thesun.co.uk/news/35107452/

Does the head of an inner-city comp rank among the numbers of the undeserving rich? That is what Labour seem to think by dragging more & more of them into the 45 per cent rate of income tax. Me in The Telegraph telegraph.co.uk/money/labour-f…

Margaret Thatcher’s 11 years in No 10 had a longer after life than any post-war prime minister other than Clement Attlee. But this month - 35 years after she left office - Labour finally wiped out her legacy. Me in The Telegraph telegraph.co.uk/money/tax/labo…

The Islam Channel's owner has bought the stalwart Labour left mag Tribune The key part of their statement is "powerful voice for the Left, whether inside or outside the Labour Party". Will Tribune act as catalyst for a party to Left of Labour? telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/06/0…

Except for the billions in debt it would take over. And remember the shareholders being wiped out are not faceless foreign billionaires. Twenty per cent owned by university academics' pension fund

When exactly did Mrs T call bin Laden a freedom fighter? She did call the Mujahadeen freedom fighters & Bin Laden was supporting them....but that is not the same thing. The Muj were indeed freedom fighters against Soviet occupation.
