$RIME went from karaoke to AI logistics. SemiCab: 450+ trucks, multi-million $ contracts, Apex SaaS for the $450B US freight market. Q3 rev +1,273% YoY. PT around $5 vs ~$1s. Tiny microcap, huge optionality. Not financial advice. Do your own research.

I revisited The Edwardians: Age of Elegance exhibition at the King’s Gallery @RCT Buckingham Palace today, on its last day. Stunning artefacts, jewellery, photographs, furniture, sculpture, art, royal dress - a celebration of elegance, power, exuberance before the onset of war.

Just to be clear, if this is announced by the Chancellor on Wednesday it’s a massive U turn on what @RhonddaBryant promised wasn’t going to happen when he was Tourism Minister just 2 months ago. #UKtourism is already over-taxed and under supported.

London may introduce an overnight tourist levy, potentially raising £240m annually for the city.

A new accommodation tax for England would be hugely damaging, not only to hotel groups but to B&Bs, guesthouses , self-caterers and the many local small businesses that depend on the spend of our guests. Please DON’T do this @RachelReevesMP @hmtreasury
A holiday tax would 'not make good business sense' and hit investment, the UK's leading hotel groups have said in a letter to the Chancellor. The Government must stick to its commitment and not introduce a holiday tax. https://t.co/8Z2S9GVplu
