Forget the Tour de France: the Dutch Headwind Cycling Championships will be held on Dec 7! An 8 Bft storm will blow on the 9 km long Oosterschelde dam, and 300 racers will battle it on city bikes. We'll be there with the Geology of Shit Weather!

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.
RP if you want the Monarchy gone.

🚜 This week saw protests against proposed changes to inheritance tax on farms.
But there’s been disagreement over how many farms might be affected.
We take a look at the different figures circulating.

How many farms will be impacted by the new inheritance tax rules? - Full Fact
