Britain is conducting a live experiment in what happens when a government tinkers with the tax perks of the mighty. In late October, finance minister Rachel Reeves scrapped Britain’s notorious “non-dom” rules, which had long given super-wealthy foreigners a sweet fiscal deal. The question is whether a large chunk of them now leave for low-tax hubs like Switzerland, Italy or Dubai – and how much of a financial hit that would cause.

Artificial intelligence giants are hoovering up the world’s green energy.
