Kemi Badenoch wants to exempt the family home from inheritance tax. But that creates a perverse incentive for elderly people to *upsize* to save IHT. That could double the cost of the policy, and push £100bn+ from savings into housing. A 🧵 on bad tax cuts.

Green would have been getting my vote but then Polanski. Now Burnham. So no.

The speech's big policy announcement is an end to inheritance tax being levied on primary residences. It is greeted with whoops in the hall – but it's another tax cut focused on the wealthy, and in this case on London and the south-east.

Knowing how highly Kemi Badenoch prizes her lack of gaffes, she might wish to correct the softening effect of her chosen words: ‘We wanted him to be our mayoral candidate.’ Jeffrey Archer WAS the Tories’ mayoral candidate, endorsed by Margaret Thatcher and John Major, until his crimes were exposed.

I managed to change this in my banking App under settings. You just remove the need to use a card reader.

She’s always been completely unbearable. Flogging her book by saying awful things, she’s been all over social media today. Depressing.

I’m at a large shopping centre and I am a bit shocked at home many school age children are here. Losing count. How sad 😞

I have to move seats at least twice per week during my commute due to selfish behaviour of others - I just want to read my book without having to listen to loud phone conversations, in person conversations, videos playing, knuckles cracking etc!

I do find this country mad. Anyone can see that social care is in a state of devastating crisis in this country and that it is the key source of the NHS crisis as well. There is no feasible way to solve it without everyone contributing. Burnham is honest about that and is already getting pelters.

Oh, we're still on the "significantly reformed EU" nonsense are we? Like the UK has the power to dictate terms as a returning hero or some such? Same EU as per the last 40 years at least. Be part of it or not. Full stop. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

1/23 Sorry, this will be long... There is a lot of shouting about what happened in the Channel yesterday. So I want to go back to basic law. Not immigration policies or political rhetoric. At sea, the starting point is simple: Preservation of life comes first under all maritime conventions.

Worrying scenes in the Channel today, for all interested in asylum policy and maritime tactics. A small boat from Normandy spent more than 30 hours at sea. Those on board now on their 2nd rescue vessel as Border Force forced to play cat and mouse with far-right activists who have their own boat.
