Please please please can we have radical tax reform instead of endless political tinkering. A tax system that is fit for a modern economy incentivising R&D, investment and work
Dan Neidle@DanNeidle
If the Government is serious about delivering growth, we need tax reform. Cutting tax or raising tax is an argument for another day. This post, and more in the next few days, are about making the tax system better. Today: corporation tax reform.

1) there is no early stage funding gap in the UK
2) this is a bit rich from the TTO that has a track record of offering UK spinouts some of the worst terms out there
OUI has probably incinerated more potential value than any other technology transfer office in the UK

@MacfarlaneJamie Every UK university is in process of setting up a dedicated venture fund linked to its IP by overblowing ‘funding gap’.
Having captive funds is a bad deal for founders (no bidding) and a bad deal for LPs (no diversity) in those funds.

Dear @nytimes, for the nth time, there is NO Icarus, no overconfidence, no good guy flying close to Helios. There is NO Greek Tragedy. Stop the f***ck**g mythologizing.
The fellow, Sam Bankman-Fried, committed something called financial fraud.
Simply, fraud.
Emanuel Derman @emanuelderman.bsky@EmanuelDerman
No it’s not.————— “It’s like a Greek tragedy,” said John Donohue, a colleague who has attended Sunday dinners at the Bankman-Fried home. “The story of flying too close to the sun, and having your wings singed.” nytimes.com/2022/12/12/tec…

@Ford_Highgate Economists say GDP shrank 0.2% in the second quarter, Liz Truss would cut taxes immediately if made PM, and the flailing property firm which wooed bankers with champagne. Here's what you need to know this morning ⬇️ bloom.bg/3vMjBJY Reply #stop to opt out

@basil_monkey And I think that last paragraph is the most important one. Great businesses and teams will still get funding. Just might have to work a little harder to get it. Not a bad thing imo.

Well. This is spicy. Conservative MP Bob Seely makes the most of parliamentary privilege to name individual London lawyers working for Russian oligarchs and questions their morality.

“Mr Abramovich should no longer be able to own a football club in this country? We should be looking at seizing some of his assets including his 152 million pound home and make sure that other people that have Tier 1 visas like this are not engaged in malign activity in the UK.”
