I often write about refugee journeys, but this has broken all our hearts. It was clear Wissam was in danger. His sister died of same rare genetic condition.
He died because every route that could have saved him was closed by hostile Tory policies.

Here’s a short story about who wins and loses from the status quo of our inheritance tax rules - and about, what you might politely call ‘sub-optimal’ journalism🧵

A useful read which explains some of the complex issues in British farming….
Are you aware that
Guy Singh Watson is one of the drivers in the, less well publicised, supermarket #farmwashing scandal?
That's something we really ought to be protesting about.

A Reminder.
Clarkson and Dyson bought up lots of land to avoid paying inheritance tax.
This makes land more expensive for those who want to farm it.
New rules mean inheritance tax only kicks in over 2 mil.
This isn't about farmers. It's about the mega rich not wanting to pay their fair share.

Which.... is the case for all other property owners as well. The gap between the coverage of this proposal and its reality can be seen from space.
memo to farmers protesting today, if you’re desperate to hand your farm to your offspring then give it to them while you’re still alive, panic over, so long as you live another 7 years there’s no inheritance tax

Stephen King, master of the horror novel, just quit Twitter because it'd become too "dark."
That's how horrifying Twitter is right now.
There may never be a more perfect expression of this fact.
