The UK needs to make clear that these proposals must be rejected, and that we support international law and a two state solution based on 1967 borders. 431294301

Andrew Porter @andrewcporter.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Exactly. Surely there are some common sense rules that can be applied to the inheritance tax change so that the next generation of farmers inheriting land so that they can continuing to farm it are not penalised but wealthy land owners using farmland as a tax haven have to pay their fair share. 010

Andrew Porter @andrewcporter.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Surely there must be a way for the Government to structure the inheritance tax rules to stop super-wealthy commercial land owners using agriculture as a tax haven but at the same time ensuring that actual farmers who wouldn’t have the means to pay it are not put out of business? 🤷 110
Andrew Porter @andrewcporter.bsky.social · 18/11/2024Battersea was originally part of the country of Surrey until the 1880s, when ‘Greater London’ was created. Middlesex is a historic name and is no longer an official county. In the 1960s it was absorbed into Greater London and neighbouring counties but the name lives on informally. 110
