"Some 56% of farmland bought in 2023 was sold to landowners who were not working farmers. The revenue per acre is too low to warrant the purchase, unless you are extremely wealthy and are avoiding inheritance tax."

Whose land? Tax avoidance and the broken economics of British farming

Noise in the billionaire press about inheritance tax changes hides a basic fact: the non-farming rich own too much land

Hi butterflies! Having been super busy & on a news ban (Trumps win tipped me over the edge!) I’ve been on an unintended SM break. Have a missed anything? Has Russia invaded us yet? My big news?-I’ve opened the Christmas ferrero rocher… 🙈 😂

Some people might say ‘it was 18yrs ago, he’s done his time.’ I say No! We have a huge problem in the UK with women being beaten/raped/stalked/abused. We cannot have leaders who’ve shown violence to women. He’s got abused women in his constituency, how can they trust another abuser to help them?

I never know how helpful 'Imagine ifs' are - although I am partial to reminding people of the media meltdowns when Diane Abbott had a mojito on a train - but seriously, imagine a major Labour politician publicly advertising this level of pant-wetting ignorance. He is shadow *Justice Secretary* ffs.

Thinking too much about space & black holes blows my mind. Sadly we still live in a world where women are paid less than men & our actions and discoveries are overshadowed/forgotten & minimised. So let’s acknowledge & remember Louise Webster, who did something I could absolutely not do! 👏

In the real world, if you leave a pub because everybody is screaming abuse, there are constant fights, and you get no service because the spoiled brat of a landlord too busy sucking up to Nazis... nobody accuses you of vanishing into an elitist echo chamber. Same applies online.

Remember folks that we need to return to the old habit of reposting (retweeting) people's posts instead of liking them to allow the folks we think are cool to build their following. Let's continue to build one another's visibility as a community should.

Today is Equal Pay Day! The gender pay gap in the UK is 11.3%—so if a man earns £1, a woman earns 88.7p. Women: - Ask for more money—even if it’s a no. - Go for the job—even if you don’t tick every box. - Start a business—pay yourself first & charge properly. Equality benefits everyone 💫

One of the things I ❤️ about France is the amount of places you can pull over from the motorway and let the dogs have a wee/run surrounded by green. Wondering round a uk services carpark is not the same 😔 🐶

🚨🚨 "Starmer has no choice but to change his Brexit position". Excellent piece by Peter Thurlow on the incoming Labour Government's untenable EU position arguing rightly that Starmer needs to abandon his red lines and the notion of making #brexit work. eastangliabylines.co.uk/starmer-has-...

Starmer has no choice but to change his Brexit position

A Starmer government looks inevitable. And once in No.10, all the pressure on him will be to reject Brexit

You have until midnight tonight to vote. Use the Quick Vote to get the NT’s preferred candidates AND go back and use the Quick Vote on the resolutions too. These Tufton St-backed people have a resolution to get rid of the Quick Vote system so you won’t know who to vote for next year.

An excellent article laying out the legal route by which the UK could join the EU. Jacob is a professor of EU law and definitely one to follow ⤵️

UK can't 're-join' the EU. We have to start from scratch

Psychologically and legally, we have to accept we have no special way back in. But with realism and political will, it's not impossible
