Labour and the Liberal Democrats have called for Nigel Farage to clarify whether he saved tax on a house in his constituency, after a BBC investigation questioned whether his partner did, as Farage has said, buy the home with her own money.The Guardian first reported in May that the house in Clacton, which Farage initially said he had bought himself, is in fact wholly owned by Laure Ferrari, his long-term partner.While Farage said the arrangement was due to security reasons, Ferrari purchasing the house would have saved the Reform UK leader an estimated £44,000 in the higher rate of stamp…

You seem to have a predilection to play real-life characters who die prematurely. Who would you like to play who lives to old age? NeilHVWell, I don’t know if that’s true. Captain Crozier [from The Terror] didn’t die, and Lane Pryce [from Mad Men] wasn’t real. I would love to play [the 19th-century US president] Ulysses S Grant. His history has largely been written by southern US historians and so his achievements have largely been denigrated. But his campaigns are taught in all the military academies around the world. Despite a pretty disastrous presidency, he still managed to [sign a]…

Revenue operations is at a breaking point. As subscription models gain momentum, multi-channel sales expand, and pricing complexity surges, relying on disconnected systems to manage the quote-to-cash process is no longer viable and has become a liability. Revenue leaders are discovering that the cost of maintaining fragmented systems, in terms of data inconsistency, process friction, and revenue leakage, far outweighs the perceived benefits of specialized tools.

There’s plenty of uncertainty to go around this year, including a global trade war, shifting policy priorities, and an economy that’s starting to stumble. Breakthrough Energy, a climate tech organization founded by Bill Gates, has also been shifting in response. The group always placed long bets, though it appears to be reappraising some of them. Its policy team was scrapped in March, for example, and it didn’t continue funding a publication that covered the climate tech world. Still, its investments in startups continue, as does its longest bet, a fellowship program for budding entrepreneurs. Breakthrough Energy Fellows, as the program…

The Israeli military has said that its planned operation in Gaza City would prevent Hamas fighters from regrouping and planning future attacks. Israel entered Gaza City earlier in the war, but said this time it would move into parts of the city that Israeli soldiers have not previously attacked or held.The risks to civilians who leave — and those who stay — are enormous.
