King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed.

But he still needed a 45% pay rise.

Like if he needs a pay cut.

I’m now hitting @bsky.app each morning before all others and spending a lot more time here. We’ve had other social media platforms come along over the past couple of years but nothing I’ve seen is changing habits as quickly as this one. In just 7 days it’s become my go to first platform for news

This is because, like most agricultural subsidies, the value of the relief was capitalised into land values. As tax planners cottoned on to its role as a licence to avoid IHT, they advised their super-rich clients to buy land and take advantage of it. In the 20 years to 2012, the price of farmland increased fourfold. This turned landowning farmers into millionaires but — especially since land represents a cost of production — did no good to the incomes of food producers. It created impoverished millionaires who claimed a need for more support. At the same time, because more expensive land had to be squeezed even harder for the last drop of revenue, the environmental damage caused by intensive agriculture was made worse. Taking at least some of this tax loophole away will do no harm to family farmers but will help both public revenues and the environment. Just a shame the relief was not wholly abolished.

You can literally see the German number plates.

Elon Musk has built a perfect disinformation machine, which helps explain the Bluesky exodus. I explore its inner workings here: www.forkingpaths.co/p/elon-musks...
Elon Musk's Perfect Disinformation Machine
At a moment of dangerously splintering reality, the billionaire manchild has engineered his most revolutionary invention yet: the perfect mechanism to turn money into lies and lies into money.

each to their own obvs but this is also why I don't really buy the 'stay and fight!' rationale for posting on X - you're not persuading anyone of anything any more, that site is literally where persuasion goes to die, and meanwhile Musk is monetising that fight

I now have 10,000 followers here but over 5.9 million at the other place. If you want Me to switch for good I need you to get the word out that I'm here, pathetically desperate for worship (just like in real life), and filled with even more contempt for you here than I was there.
