Remember when the Tories accused Labour of cronyism when they made 550 “appointments by exception” (July and August).
Turns out this was “considerably lower” than when Tories made 61,815 such appointments (1,287 a month)
So much for those Tory efficiencies

Three questions at #pmqs , both Tory and Reform, were on the details of Rachel Reeves’s CV.
Really is risible that some MPs think that warrants any time at all.

Alex Burghart at #PMQs: "What is the government doing to bring down inflation?"
Angela Rayner: "Many people might not know but [Burghart] was the minister for growth under Liz Truss when inflation was 11.1% and growth flatlined. So we're doing much better than he did!"

Alex Burghart forgets that farmers marched on London when his party was in government. Against their Brexit and their trade agreements. #pmqs

I, for one, am proud of paying the BBC license fee. And this 👇 confirms the unholy alliance of far right/right wing, but also that we need professional high quality journalism to challenge it. I applaud Derbyshire and the BBC for doing just that.

Nigel Farage is claiming today that farmer grievances have nothing to do with Brexit. And yet, last March farmers’ grievances and their march on London was all about Brexit.

I started today thinking that the IHT measures on landowners and farmers was right in principle. I will end to day strongly supporting those measures.
That is what inaccurate data, bandwagon politicians and patronising spokespeople do to the causes they claim to represent.

I see that Lloyd Webber who flew over specially from New York to vote through 2015 Welfare Act cuts is out speaking up for those rich landowners and farmers wanting to avoid paying their way in tax.
And of course he’s one of those landowners.

So much misinformation around today on who will be affected by changes to inheritance tax - and lobbyists pretending the data isn't clear to obfuscate. We have detailed data on estates so the truth is in fact very clear if you care to look 🧵

As Health Secretary, Atkins blamed nurses who were protesting for a decent wage for NHS waiting lists. Now as Shadow Environment, she dons her union flag outfit to back rich landowners and farmers avoiding paying tax to help fund the very same NHS.

Seems to me that the financial pressures on farmers are not the result of tax they may need to pay in the future, but the result of Brexit, poor trade deals and inadequate investment in the industry. That’s not Labour’s creation but the result of the last decade. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Big day for reasoned debate on farms/inheritance today - a debate undermined by @BBCNews repeatedly and wrongly reporting as fact that “farms worth more than £1m would have to pay inheritance tax”. This is just flatly wrong in vast vast majority of cases

Time for the media to repost today’s landowners/farmers protest like any other. And that means accurately and objectively.
