On 19 November, the Times ran a ‘news’ piece on the demonstration in Westminster by farmers opposed to changes to inheritance tax. Obviously reporting the news is good, but reading such a one sided piece made me think it belonged in the comment pages www.thetimes.com/uk/environme...
Tractors, fleeces and fury: protesting farmers bring their grievances to town
At least 13,000 protesters descend on Whitehall accusing the government of ‘betrayal’ in its plans to impose inheritance tax on farms

The royal family is supposed to be non political. So the govt asking William to meet him is extremely weird. But then if I was in the govt I’d get someone else to do that for me too.

But I guess that’s not what they mean
Labour have been exactly the expected level of disappointing

How depressing that Labour MPs think the answer is being ‘more vocal about immigration’. They could try advocating for investment in the regions to deliver prosperous, sustainable communities. Playing to the immigration trope is dangerous, defeatist and does nothing to actually restore hope.
