Q on Politics Live: Why is inheritance tax so unpopular, despite so few paying it? Answers offered: Double taxation; against aspiration; something something British psyche. Answer not offered: Media owners, pundits, politicians (i.e. everyone in that studio), and pollsters would be caught by it.

This does in fact seem obvious to everyone apart from the people who came up with the policy.

Rich people can pay no inheritance tax and disabled and people who cannot find work will pay for it. Huge applause #Tories

If you believe this, I have a bridge to sell you. The prime directive of the Conservative Party is to get and hold power. The idea that it would risk throwing away the opportunity merely because it involved an albeit uncomfortable arrangement with another right-wing party is clearly for the birds.

America sells the state to the 1%, seats them at the table, and pretends to be a 'democracy'. In China the 1% can get rich, but they cannot finance politics; the 99% are not competing with their billionaires for control of the ballot, the media, or the courts. There's no cost of living crisis.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

GB News exists only to drive the UK further right and radicalise the elderly and unwary, who get sucked in with 1980s daytime TV stars and nostalgia, and drip fed fear, anger, hate to make them xenophobic enough to vote for a man like Nigel Farage who serves only himself and his rotten backers.

The ability to pour hundreds of millions of pounds into a loss-making TV channel, bent on wrenching British politics sharply to the right, is yet another of the ways in which extreme wealth is trying to remake UK democracy. It needs to be part of any serious conversation about political funding.
