No, Nigel Farage.
We emphatically do not talk about this at home.
You will not import your authoritarian christofascist Trump-style threats into our political debate.
Can’t tell you quite how far you’ll be told to fuck off if you try.

Overdue reform to feudal leasehold laws good example of why everything takes so long to get done: consultation paralysis. The new legislation may be needed-but holding another consultation *next* summer? Too much consultation (which protects vested interests) one of the big problems with our system.

New data on farms and inheritance tax: a third of farm estates over £1.5m aren’t farmers but wealthy people avoiding IHT by sinking money into farmland.
The Budget hits farmers too hard and tax avoiders too lightly. It needs to change.

Hello, BlueSky 👋
Let’s try a thread.
We need to talk about UK graduate wages, and the idea that Britain sends too many people to university.
American readers should stick around for the UK/US comparisons 👀
First up: the UK graduate wage premium has fallen substantially over the last 25 years
