Why are millionaires leaving London? Here’s the surprising truth behind
As per the recent World's Wealthiest Cities Report published by advisory company Henley & Partners and data intelligence firm New World Wealth, around 11,300 millionaires left London in 2024. The report indicates that London now holds 215,700-dollar millionaires, having hosted 227,000 in 2023. The decline has left London behind Los Angeles with 220,600 millionaires, relegating London to number six on the list of the wealthiest cities in the world.While London's high-net-worth individuals have been decreasing, so have Moscow's. High-net-worth individuals are sensitive to such taxes and seek regions with less strict tax terms under which they can retain and grow their wealth. These taxes discourage high-net-worth individuals from staying in London, particularly when compared to other regions offering more favorable tax plans, including Dubai, Switzerland, and Singapore.

Has Disney+ Changed ‘Doctor Who’? U.S. and U.K. Fans Discuss.
Last year, when Disney+ was spending big to promote “Doctor Who” on the New York subway, an advertising campaign wrapped trains with images of the incoming Doctor, Ncuti Gatwa, and his time traveling police box, the TARDIS. “Your cosmic joyride awaits,” the train wrapper read, and Gatwa’s hand stretched out to invite prospective viewers — many of whom would likely be new to the show — to join him. The BBC had been making “Doctor Who” since the 1960s, and it had been shown in the United States on BBC America and HBO Max in recent years. This revamped “Doctor Who” returns for a new season on Friday, with Gatwa once more playing a modern kind of Doctor, who is in touch with his feelings. The Welsh screenwriter Russell T Davies, who also oversaw an earlier revamp in 2005, is also back again, as the showrunner.

The untold story of British military chiefs’ crucial role in Ukraine
In the early summer of 2023, as the Ukrainian army launched its long-awaited “spring offensive”, the codename for one crucial advance was named not after a famous Ukrainian figure or place, but a British politician. The “Wallace” axis referred to Ben Wallace, then defence secretary, who had played a leading role in getting Ukraine the weapons it needed in the early days of the war. His support led to the affectionate nickname “the man who saved Kyiv”, according to one Ukrainian military source. While Britain’s unwavering support for its eastern European ally has been no secret, the extent of its involvement and influence — last-minute dashes to Kyiv, help forging battle plans and collecting vital intelligence on the Russians — has remained largely hidden.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer: A prophet for our own time?
A STATUE of a rather youthful Dietrich Bonhoeffer by the sculptor Tim Crawley is among those of the ten martyrs of the 20th century on the west front of Westminster Abbey. An anniversary of someone whose legacy has been taken up by so many causes, inevitably including some to which Bonhoeffer himself would have strongly objected, raises the question, What we are to do with Bonhoeffer today? Yet, Bonhoeffer recognised and articulated the danger ensuing from the Nazi movement very early on (both before and after Hitler’s rise to power). Like the saints of other times, Bonhoeffer was a complex character (as recent biographies have sought to explore). Yet, like the saints of old, this 20th-century German pastor, theologian, and ecumenist asks challenging questions of us today.
