Anyone else inheriting a £16m asset has to pay £6m inheritance tax. I don’t see the argument for why someone inheriting a £16m farm business shouldn’t pay £3m.

I hear Democrats say Trump voters will regret once Trump's tariffs devastate 🇺🇸economy & raise consumer prices. But take it from Brits, people don't acknowledge they erred in a vote even after economic consequences. They'll always find others to blame than themselves. 🇬🇧#Brexit

One thing The Times neglects to mention is that James Dyson bought 36,000 acres of farmland across England, with a view to saving roughly £100 million in inheritance tax.

James Dyson owns 36,000 acres of farmland and the largest farming company in the UK. Completely unmentioned in this piece, of course.

"These people are, frankly, parasites." Isabel Oakeshott's views on people who claim benefits belong in the past. This kind of sentiment is disgraceful. And fuels a dangerous narrative towards disabled people that we must stand against.

I loathe Trump and MAGA as much as anybody, but please stop calling them "morons", "retards" and "idiots". This is hateful language and surely we can do better than that. #HarrisWalz2024

As I am blocked by both TPuk and UKIP, I will need to look elsewhere to hear about their outrage over Yaxley Lennon’s jail sentence after he admitted contempt of court having broken a court order not to repeat a libel. Amateur beacons of free speech!
