The tree behind me, in case you're interested, is my favourite tree. Not showy in blossom, but has the most gorgeous green heart shaped leaves which flutter delicately in the breeze and in autumn turn golden, before falling with the scent of candy floss. It's called Cercidiphyllum japonicum

Precisely. Your income is taxed when you earn it, when you save it and when you spend it. That’s three times for most money. Yet rising house prices that don’t bring in CGT if the owner dies, and if their inheritors don’t pay IHT that’s wealth that is totally untaxed!

Is it partly because the typical response to workers who complain about their lot is to say ‘just work harder’ whilst that isn’t an option for retirees who are perceived as having to subsist on a fixed income, no matter what the size of that is?

@mscaitlinmoran.bsky.social just read your bit in Gardens Illustrated about asking Paul McCartney about gardening. 👏 I had that chat with my musical hero on my Chelsea Flower Show garden but it wasn’t Sir Paul!

Chris Dixon posted this on LI and I had to share it here. It’s just too good, the @jonronson.bsky.social twist is superb…

I'm so very sad to hear of the death of Esther Ranzen who played an important role in reuniting me with Nicky Winton - the man who saved my life. It's so desperately sad that she couldn't choose assisted dying as was her wish.

So disingenuous from Trump. If he seriously doesn’t understand the basics of buying stuff for money how on earth has he been doing business these past 6 decades?

This looks smells and feels very much like naked antisemitism dressed up in a cloak of anti Zionism. Scary stuff and sincerely I hope the Greens are sensible enough to send him and his ilk packing. Is this Corbynist entryism at play?
