Completely gutted about this, just devastating news. Schlagenheim is such a fantastic record I remember hearing it for the first time and being completely blown away. 😔

Grassroots music venues are vital and are suffering at the expense of touts like Ticketmaster - they should be made to use their multi-billion pound profits to support the places that create the artists they profit off.

So much misinformation around today on who will be affected by changes to inheritance tax - and lobbyists pretending the data isn't clear to obfuscate. We have detailed data on estates so the truth is in fact very clear if you care to look 🧵

To be clear: It's £1m untaxed, plus £325k of standard tax free inheritance. You can double that if the farmer is married. So farmers can hand down £2.65m tax free, and their kids pay 20% on everything else. Tax on your job is 40% over £50k "Land owner" is not a job 🧵
