“I just exchanged contracts on a house that [sic] I’ll be living there.”
Repeats, “I’ve bought a house in Clacton.”
Farage clearly stated he has a beneficiary interest in the property. If he provided the purchase costs, then he is the deemed owner - _exactly_ as Rayner was - and owes stamp duty.

![HMRC guidance:
TSEM9610 - Ownership and income tax: implied trust: resulting trust - basic principle
A ‘resulting trust’ is one where the property ‘results’ (reverts, falls back) to the settlor. A resulting trust can occur where purchase costs are provided for property, or funds are provided for a bank account. The case of Pettit v Pettit [1970] AC 777 describes the ‘well known presumption of equity that a person who has contributed a share of the purchase price of a property is entitled to a corresponding proportionate beneficial interest in the property by way of implied or resulting trust’.
A resulting trust gives effect to the settlor’s presumed intention - the ‘presumption’. But see also TSEM9630 about counter-presumptions.
A resulting trust is relatively simple, in that it does not rely on the parties’ conduct. It arises by operation of the law.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dm52swetcttd6h7xvogf7x2w/bafkreibgcspymm4dfn7wynyudnx76iqteb7riewzu7jtuwcoj5ytkhu6pm@jpeg)

Plenty studies showing that your postcode is a better predictor of your health outcomes than your genome.
The BBC & Telegraph are trailing Wes Streeting’s technophile health plans, including genomic mapping at birth.
Is this really gonna transform the NHS into a prevention service within 10 yrs, as Wes claims? For v rare genetic conditions, praps. But for the real burden of disease?

Genuinely good news. Extending FSM to all children on Universal Credit is long overdue. Will cut poverty and help improve concentration and health.
🚨 NEW: Labour is lifting 100,000 children out of poverty by expanding access to free school meals.
Alongside free breakfast clubs, cheaper uniform costs and government-funded childcare, Labour is putting money in parents’ pockets and giving children the best start in life.
