Word of the day is most definitely ‘hurkle-durkling’ (19th-century Scots): to linger in bed long after it’s time to get up.

Word of the Day is ‘gwenders’, from old Cornish dialect: a disagreeable tingling in the extremities (or no sensation at all) due to extreme cold.

The overwhelming majority of farmers will be unaffected by changes to inheritance tax. It's the multi millionaires who saw investing in land as a tax avoidance measure who are the ones complaining. This extract from FT is all you need to read to understand the issue

While the privileged quibble over the definition of genocide, people are hunted, killed and tortured for sport, children are shot or starving, and the Israeli death machine destroys everything in its path.
All lines have been crossed. There are no excuses. Our leaders are culpable.

Jarvis: His generals called him fascist. Joe Scarborough called him fascist, and now the fascist is in charge and it is journalism's job to cover it that way, not to back off and say okay, well that's it, we lost. Let the fascism happen. No

The protestors want to call it "the tractor tax" because calling it "the inheritance tax protest" would turn off public opinion.
The tractors coming into London today, in fact, pay no road tax, no congestion charge, and no ULEZ.
Exempt from all.

It’s going to happen. This is terrifying.
WOW! And so it begins:
Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski normalizing Trump after meeting w/him at Mar-a-Lago. This is how we got President Trump the first time. They learned nothing.
I’m posting the entire segment as a 🧵 so folks can decide for themselves.
