Three suited leaders discuss plans against a dramatic city skyline marked by cranes and storm clouds.
La arriesgada apuesta de Sánchez: Por qué la crisis de la vivienda en España podría destrozar a la oposición
Por Martyn Rhisiart Jones, nuestro corresponsal político sénior
Si quieres entender por qué la política española parece estar constantemente al borde del colapso, pasea por cualquier barrio residencial de Madrid, Barcelona, Santiago de Compostela o Málaga. En lo alto de las avenidas arboladas, cuelgan pancartas escritas a mano de las barandillas de los balcones: «Casas para vivir, no para invertir».

Sánchez’s High-Stakes Gamble: Why Spain’s Housing Crisis Could Shatter the Opposition
By Martyn Rhisiart Jones, Our Senior Political Correspondent
If you want to understand why Spanish politics feels so persistently on the verge of a nervous breakdown, wander through any residential district in Madrid, Barcelona, Santiago de Compostela, or Málaga. High above the tree-lined avenues, handwritten banners hang limp from balcony railings: “Casas para vivir, no para invertir” (Homes to live in, not to invest in).

How Green Was My Data? The Invisible Environmental Cost of Our Digital Addiction
There was a time, not so long ago, when those of us working at the bleeding edge of the technology industry operated under a simple, unspoken rule of thumb: never, under any circumstances, switch off your computer.
It doesn’t matter what you’re trying to build, what grand architectural strategy you’ve pitched to the board, or whether you even know what you’re doing in the first place. When a project implodes, there is one universal, infallible get-out-of-jail-free card: blame the quality of the data.
How Toy Helicopters, Roomba Tanks, and Glorified Spreadsheets Are Saving the Army of Planet ZogBy Barnaby Mugg, Professional Hot-Air Vendor and Thought-Leader Extraordinary
Summary
The High Command of Planet Zog’s Armed Forces is embarking on another dazzlingly expensive rebranding exercise. Having watched too many viral clips from Eastern European mud fields, the Ministry of Mild Inconvenience is pivoting hard toward self-flying plastic gadgets, RC lawnmowers, and algorithmic magic tricks.
Leadership books are everywhere, yet real leadership has never felt rarer. In Good Leader, Bad Leader, veteran strategist and sharp-eyed commentator Martyn Jones cuts through the sanitized corporate clichés to deliver an electrifying, unvarnished look at what actually drives executive success—and what triggers disastrous failure.
Laughing@Data.Com (often discussed alongside The 2030 Data Agenda essays and writings) is a satirical and polemical book by veteran data architect and consultant Martyn Rhisiart Jones.
Part memoir, part industry autopsy, and part manifesto, the book takes a witty and sharp look at the absurdity of the IT and enterprise data world. Rather than being another standard tech guide, it functions as a survival manual for anyone dealing with corporate tech hype cycles.
Meta-Meta Description: Discover how data architecture, data meshes, and entity resolution can end offshore tax evasion in Martyn Jones’s fascinating, educational, entertaining and informative book, Revealing Wealth.
Every year, an estimated $480 billion in tax revenue is lost to offshore accounts, shell companies, and opaque trusts. While investigative leaks like the Panama Papers periodically expose illicit financial flows, enterprise data architect Martyn Richard Jones argues that relying on whistleblowers is not enough.
A glowing central network connects distributed data platforms through colorful digital pathways.
Unmasking Trillions: How Data Architecture Can Solve Global Tax Evasion
Every year, an estimated $480 billion in tax revenue vanishes into thin air—funnelled through a labyrinth of shell companies, hidden bank accounts, and anonymous trusts. In 2016, the world watched in awe as the Panama Papers leaked 11.5 million financial documents, exposing the secretive offshore holdings of world leaders, billionaires, and celebrities. But while investigative journalists rely on luck and whistleblowers to expose these scandals, data architect Martyn Rhisiart Jones offers a permanent solution in his book, Revealing Wealth: Combatting Tax Evasion with Data, Political Will and Technology.

Book Review: Revealing Wealth: Combatting Tax Evasion with Data, Political Will and Technology by Martyn Jones
In an age defined by algorithms, trillion-dollar tech companies, and data flowing across borders at the speed of light, one of the oldest problems in civilisation persists: how the wealthy avoid paying their share of tax. In Revealing Wealth, Martyn Jones argues that the real scandal is not simply that tax evasion exists, but that in a data-rich world we still allow it to thrive.

10 Ways Humanoid Robots Will Revolutionise the Art of Grifting You Out of Your Job (And Your Sanity)
Right! Listen to me! I was reading Fraudes Magazine the other day—a publication written exclusively for men who wear fleece gilets indoors and think ‘crypto’ is a substitute for a personality. And there’s an article by a so-called ‘futurist’—let’s call him Bartholomew Pompous-Windbag.
The Ultimate Power Lunch: Twelve Women and a Question of Heroism
It is a truth universally acknowledged that if you put twelve women of significant historical consequence into a single hypothetical green room, someone will eventually ask a deeply earnest icebreaker question.
We had gathered in an ethereal, time-agnostic coffee house. The Wi-Fi was strong enough for Giorgia Meloni to check her polls, but the ambiance was rustic enough to keep Jane Austen from having a sensory overload. The question on the table—tossed out casually over oat milk lattes and black teas—was simple: Who is your ultimate female hero?
What followed was a masterclass in ego, empathy, and political maneuvering.
A bespoke-suited “Global Futurist” has finally solved the healthcare crisis. Put away your bandages, ignore the fourteen-hour wait times, and definitely don’t bother funding the nurses, because the only medicine the collapsing system needs now is an actionable synergy dashboard. God help us all.

RIGHT! LISTEN TO ME! You’ve got these absolute charlatans, these bespoke-suited snake-oil salesmen floating around on corporate networking sites, publishing little essays for other bespoke-suited vampires to applaud. I read one today by a bloke—let’s call him Bartholomew Sparr, a “Global Futurist.” A futurist! That’s not a job! A futurist is just a bloke who owns a crystal ball but went to business school!

According to the shiny-suited ‘thought leaders’ currently infesting LinkedIn, artificial intelligence is now a fully-fledged scientist, and laboratories can drive themselves. But before we hand over the agonising, beautiful poetry of human discovery to a predictive text engine, perhaps we should ask why we’re letting middle-management buzzword merchants sell us the tickets to our own obsolescence.
Right! Listen! I was looking at LinkedIn the other day. Why do we do it? Why do we subject ourselves to LinkedIn? It’s a website designed specifically to make you feel like you’ve died, but instead of burning in a majestic, fiery hell, you’re trapped in an eternal, beige purgatory of middle-management synergy meetings. It’s a digital holding pen where sociopaths with MBA degrees and aggressively white teeth congratulate each other on waking up at 4 AM to drink lukewarm lemon water, take an ice bath, and “crush their Q3 paradigms.”
A futuristic cityscape illuminated by vibrant digital data streams swirling above the skyline at night.
In my four decades navigating the labyrinthine corridors of global diplomacy and corporate grand strategy, from brokering late-night resource treaties in Geneva to architecting the predictive analytics frameworks for the Ministry of Defence, I have encountered every conceivable breed of intellectual vanity. I have sat in oak-paneled rooms with men who believed they could conquer the world with a pivot table, and I have endured the endless, droning presentations of modern techno-philosophers who mistake a vast accumulation of digital sludge for actual wisdom.
A vintage balance scale is spotlighted on a wooden table in an empty courtroom.
Right, listen to me, you pathetic, scrambling little cogs in the late-stage capitalist machine! Gather round the glowing rectangles of your impending doom and let us vigorously dissect the latest steaming pile of verbal effluent from the High Priest of the Empty Platitude, the undisputed heavyweight champion of the corporate grift: Barnaby Swill.
