My patient today owns a multi-million pound business. He was telling me that allowing staff to work flexibly, finish early on Fridays and paying them more than “standard pay”… Productivity & retention is higher, sickness rates much lower. These benefits exceed the costs 1/2

Tesco have written to Rachel Reeves to say they can’t cover the increase in costs caused by NIC increases. Their own figures show an increased pre tax cost of £0.25bn a year. It is hard to see how the shareholders of a company with a pre-tax profit of £2.9bn can afford that.

Victoria Atkins, born <checks notes> in London, the daughter of Tory MP Sir Robert Atkins and Tory mayor Lady Dulcie Atkins, privately educated, read law at Cambridge, then worked as a barrister in London, before embarking on a political career. Salt of the earth.

Shad DEFRA Sec, Victoria Atkins, rocks up in a union jack-et to say Labour are city socialists who don't understand farmers. Farmers say this is "the last straw" after lost #Brexit subsidies, bad trade deals, and poor climate mitigation - all of it under Atkins' gov't. 🧐~AA

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…

Without todays grassroots Venues, tomorrows Arena & Stadium shows won’t exist. We signed a pledge a few months ago that should we ever get to those size shows, we’ll donate a cut from sales to support the venues that got us there in the first place. Now it’s a Government policy…

I’ve been watching the news, and all I will say about this farming thing, is that farmers used to sound like the two old blokes standing by the gate, in The Two Ronnies, and now they all sound like Nigel Havers.

Shocking to see farmers slowing down ambulances getting to hospital with their slow marches 😡

"Inheritance tax relief" introduced in 1984 turned "owning agricultural land into having a licence to avoid inheritance tax," Professor Paul Cheshire tells #PoliticsLive It led to a "four-fold increase in the price of agricultural land", he adds bbc.in/3YTSbQ4

While all those farmers, landowners and gamekeepers are up in London, I'm having the best day's poaching of my entire life.

Useful background to the farming row. I’ve picked out three interesting paras below and the £3m threshold is a fiction for most as I have explained yesterday. Overall a very good read bit.ly/3YTnkmI

British cheeses miss out at the World Cheese Awards in Portugal - not because they weren’t worthy of prizes, but because they got stuck in customs. That. Is. A. Disgrace. theguardian.com/food/2024/nov/…

Labour has already done more on illegal immigration than the Tories managed in 14 years. And no one needed to be sent to Rwanda. The progress so far:
