Great to visit the car dealership stunt at Parliament today by @transenvuk.bsky.social and @olord.bsky.social showing clearly just how huge and heavy cars have become making the case for fair tax by vehicle weight.

The countries with a wealth tax - and the lessons the UK could learn — The i Paper Over the past few decades, many have tried, and abandoned, wealth taxes. Here is who still adopts them and how they work

These are not the wealth taxes that @garyseconomics.bsky.social were proposing – he proposed a wealth tax on the multi-millionaires and billionaires.

Should be easier to administrate with digital ids, as means testing child benefits and winter fuel allowance etc.

The state can pay an annual licensing fee to the royals, but that's it.
