"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?

For a supposedly ‘rich’ country like the UK, it shouldn’t be beyond us to ensure everyone has a home. Housing 106 people should be be totally doable for Liverpool. What a mess we are in! Hopefully new a new gov means new leadership on this…

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.

😤 going way back, how many thousands of women had to stop being healers for fear of being accused of being a witch, because male Doctors wanted the power & the glory? Honestly makes me so angry!

Total disgrace! But sadly unsurprising. How many other women have had the credit for ideas/discoveries stolen from them? I like to think things have changed but still a way to go

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 💫

And if the farm has been set up as a business with all assets included & the kids are already officially involved, then no inheritance tax for them either 🤷‍♀️
