Brilliant conversation at the RSA citizens food summit - hearing about food poverty The wider cost of our bad food system is £258 billion - one estimate of the perfect fix is £58 billion We need to stop being idiots about food and farming and begin to be way more progressive

Labour is hiking taxes on billionaires. Don’t be distracted by the farmers protesting in Westminster. Inheritance tax on farmland means the super rich will pay their fair share. Here’s who’s most affected:

I fear New Zealand may have misunderstood David Seymour and his Treaty Principles Bill. I fear his concern is not 'equal rights' (or however he styles it) but the weakening and fracturing of the nation so it is less able to resist the destructive forces of the oligarchy.

No 10 spokesperson on the change in Russia’s nuclear stance: “It would be fair to say it’s the latest example of irresponsibility that we’ve seen from the depraved Russian government. We’re very clear that Vladimir Putin could end this war tomorrow. He could remove his troops,…

Quick reminder that 355 huge aristocratic estates benefit from a *different* inheritance tax break for 'heritage assets', separate to APR This rewards them for owning ecologically damaging grouse moors & pheasant shoots Let's close this loophole: theguardian.com/money/2024/oct…

Vamos, @RafaelNadal!   As you get ready to graduate from tennis, I’ve got a few things to share before I maybe get emotional.   Let’s start with the obvious: you beat me—a lot. More than I managed to beat you. You challenged me in ways no one else could. On clay, it felt like I…

Two billionaires are leading Trump's transition team. The richest person in the world and another billionaire will run a department of “efficiency.” Other billionaires will surely be anointed to other positions. When Trump said, "I am your voice," he was talking to oligarchs.

After the ATACMs... what next? I can forgive people's trepidation but Biden's move is not "escalation" - it barely matches the reckless Russian hit on 4x nuclear power plant transformers in August... so we need to do more: the most dangerous thing is weakness...…

Important fact-check on the proposed farming reforms by @BenChu_ The inheritance will apply *only* to the value above £1m, and in most cases £2.5m - not to all of it. And it is still half the rate that anyone else would pay for passing property of that value to their kids. ~AA

Investors (non-farmers) were responsible for 56% of UK farmland purchases last year. (Strutt & Parker) Farmers are being squeezed out. Not by IHT, but by tax-dodgers. Those same tax-dodgers who are now supported by, er, farmers.

"Vaccination has probably saved more lives & is better researched than most, if not all, healthcare. RFK Jr could set this back & be responsible for the death & disability of myriads of people, particularly children.” Superb BBC fact check on RFK 👇 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
