And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.* Tax the rich. Greg Ryan in @bloomberg.com:
Just reviewing my presentation notes before tomorrow and still stand by this
Always love doing this course! Great really interactive environment and lots of engaging questions that keep me on my toes!

You’re telling me that right wing voters that Labour was trying to appeal to voted for a right wing party anyway and left wing voters decided not to vote for Labour because they’re too right wing now? Who could have possibly predicted this.

Absolutely exhausted this morning trying to work, and have just realised that I spent all night dreaming that I was working on incorporating uranium into DNA and the lab work was being "difficult". Real projects are hard enough, I don't need new ones for my dreams 😅
