🇪🇺 @iannghh argues that regulatory uncertainties carved EU out of the frontier AI model market — and Britain should not follow down that route entrepreneursnetwork.substack.com/p/three-big-id…
Our latest Three Big Ideas roundup is now out! 🪖@MannVirdee on the new Defence Investment Plan’s £2.5bn opportunity for SMEs 📈@Philip_Salter on why GDP understates how much richer we’ve become 🇪🇺 @iannghh on why frontier AI keeps skipping Europe entrepreneursnetwork.substack.com/p/three-big-id…
Over half of the UK's fastest-growing businesses have a foreign-born founder — drawn here by an open, dynamic market. Raise capital gains tax and Britain risks deterring the founders it wants and pushing out those already here. @Philip_Salter spoke to @Tim_Wallace @Telegraph
The presumptive prime minister is under pressure to increase capital gains tax (CGT), with top ally Louise Haigh on Saturday calling for the rate to be “brought closer” to income tax. This could mean the CGT rate goes from 24pc to as much as 45pc. 🔗 telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/…
