355 giant estates in the UK making up nearly 40% of its land including the King, Dukes, Lords and Barons are exempt from Inheritance Tax because their lands have 'historical value'. This is a load of BS and it needs to be cancelled too.

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…

Hannity: Would Trump have the ability to remove Jerome Powell? Sen. Hagerty: President Trump certainly has a mandate that we've never seen before. Fact check: false. Trump got less than 50% of the popular vote. His margin ranks 44 of 51 since 1824.

Farming tax row - BBC Verify on which figures are more reliable and why “Our analysis found that the figure was likely to be somewhere closer to the number provided by the government - about 500 estates per year. That remains our assessment” bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Sigh - classic fact free nonsense. ‘news’ story here totally fails to mention that Tory plans were for fines of £5k (later reduced to £3k) for each missed heat pump sale. What @Ed_Miliband has done is to reduce that to £500. Headline should read “Miliband slashes Tory boiler tax”

40 Just Stop Oil political prisoners sit in prison at the moment for blocking roads or throwing paint/soup in a protest about the climate. Farmers are protesting having to pay a reduced inheritance tax and driving into police officers with tractors. That’s two-tier policing.

Please spare a thought for James Dyson, the Brexit-voting billionaire who bought up 33,000 acres of farmland to avoid tax. Without people like him, farmland would be more affordable for actual farmers.

Meanwhile on Russian state TV: Another translated clip of Tucker Carlson and Tulsi Gabbard, introduced by state TV host Vladimir Soloviev as "Our girlfriend Tulsi." After the clip plays, one panelist asks: "Is she some sort of a Russian agent?" The host quickly replies: "Yes."
