Kemi Badenoch wants to exempt the family home from inheritance tax. But that creates a perverse incentive for elderly people to *upsize* to save IHT. That could double the cost of the policy, and push £100bn+ from savings into housing. A 🧵 on bad tax cuts.

lnkd.in/p/eJqGWPYn Exxon knew about the impact on the climate of burning fossil fuels, and paid a lot of money to spread doubt on the science and keep making $billions in profit. Seems that the beef industry employed similar tactics.

Lundy is on the cusp of evacuation after months of drought left its water supply at record lows. Is this an early glimpse of how climate change makes places progressively harder to live in - first small, vulnerable communities, then larger ones? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
