Politico: "The latest Private Eye pulls various data together to suggest the Rachel Reeves agricultural inheritance tax changes might be having the intended impact: pushing tax-avoiders out of farmland and making it more affordable for real farmers." (Cont.)

Damn! Another stunning beautiful morning in Alsace. But how could I possibly enjoy it living under the oppressive yoke of the EU? Somehow I’ll struggle through. Pass the croissants…..

Today has been a bit of a challenging day in some respects, but more so emotionally. It just floors me when people I know and love turn around and give that love right back to me. So to that secret army, my love and respect always x

When does digital transformation get to the pensions service in LocalGov. I swear I had 7 paper forms to fill in, and most of them asked for my NI number (which they know). Some asked me for a payroll number for a job I left 6 years ago.

What is this 'sectarian' conspiracy that Farage & Co are bleating about after losing the Gorton & Denton byelection? Are they suggesting Christianity equates to democracy? Or that if everyone was Muslim that would equate to democracy? Just a reminder that France is a sectarian country

This is undoubtably the most exciting thing happening in tech right now. Why couldn't the UK summon up the balls to do this years ago? Why couldn't Digital Strategies spearhead the introduction of open source products to save money and increase digital independence? Innovation through circumstance

I think about the Alex Garland film Civil War a lot these days. Two states from either side of the political divide rising up and fighting a morally corrupt president. In that film it was California and Texas. But it feels like Minnesota could be in the real-life version
