Watching #QuestionTime from two weeks ago. Many issues raised with #wealthTaxes - principally capital flight, collection, and reduced investment when wealth is taxed. The figures from Adam Smith Institute on rich leaving UK due to taxes quoted.

I’d be interested to know the detail from wealth tax advocates such as Richard Murphy & Gary Stevenson to address these criticisms.

#BBCQT has been pretty good tonight. It usually is a lot better when big important things are going on as with this assisted dying bill, but I'm surprised at even Jacob Rees-Mogg seeming human-like tonight.

Next week Alistair Campbell will be on opposite Nigel Farage enjoying his eleven thousandth outing on the show, so I expect it'll be much worse.

_The Evening Post_, 17 July 1924:
TEACHING SWIMMING
DISSATISFACTION WITH
MINISTERIAL REPLY.
A question was asked in the House of Representatives by Mr. R. A. #Wright (Wellington Suburbs) whether, in view of the valuable work carried on amongst the children … by the New Zealand Amateur #Swimming Association, the Government would this session grant that body increased financial assistance.
The Minister of Internal Affairs (the Hon. R. F. #Bollard) replied yesterday that the question … was receiving consideration.
Mr. Wright protested that the reply was by no means satisfactory.… He submitted that £100 [ca. $12,000 today] was a very modest contribution, in view of the work the association was doing, and he hoped the Minister would … endeavour to induce the Government to increase the amount to £500 [ca. $60,000] per year.
