A tax barrister is threatening to sue Dan Neidle for defamation. His work is too important to be silenced. We talk a lot about how the government should increase taxes on the super rich.

I'm looking to speak to workers who have recently quit their jobs - and now regret their decision. If that's you, would be great to speak to you for a BBC article about the flip side to the Great Resignation. DMs are open #journorequest
As workers go hybrid the next dilemma is what to pay staff who have moved away - and whether location should be linked to pay, rather than just value creation. From Big Tech to startups, I looked at both sides for @BBC_Worklife https://t.co/JE3H6j2mR4
RT @amydiehl: Hybrid work can be more taxing for employees because of the back-and-forth between home and office. Changing settings can lea…
