@Keir_Starmer The irony of this! If you are part of the problem you cannot make out that you are part of the solution, especially for political gain,

It’s clearly the right outcome that the Court of Appeal will review the sentences of this distressing case.

Today, we remember George Floyd, who was murdered by a former Minneapolis police officer six years ago.   That moment changed our city forever.

@afneil Price controls serve a purpose in the right context, for example limiting private sector profiteering

This is a harrowing and brave testimony. The girls at the heart of this case have shown extraordinary bravery and strength in heinous circumstances. This is an appalling case and it is right that law officers are urgently reviewing the sentences. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@SamaHoole @b_wright_esq Great yet sad example of the short sightedness of labour and how they love to tax those perceived to be wealthy without considering consequences

A farmer dies in April 2026. His son inherits the farm. The farm has been in the family since 1847. The farm consists of: 300 acres of grazing pasture, a farmhouse built in 1892, a barn, a milking parlour, two tractors of varying ages, a Land Rover that runs about 70% of the time, and a herd of 180 Hereford-cross cattle. On paper, the farm is worth approximately £3.2 million. This is because land near him has been bought recently by a London hedge fund looking for carbon credits, which has dragged the comparable value of every field within forty miles upward to a number nobody local can justify. In cash, the farm produces a profit of about £28,000 a year in a good year. In a bad year it loses money. The son also works as a fencing contractor three days a week to keep the operation viable. The inheritance tax bill on a £3.2 million estate, even at the reduced 20% rate, comes to approximately £140,000 after the increased threshold is applied. The son does not have £140,000. The son has never had £140,000. The son has £4,200 in his current account and an overdraft. The son sells 60 acres to a developer to pay the tax. The developer puts solar panels on the 60 acres. The remaining herd cannot be sustained on the reduced land. The herd is sold. The barn becomes a holiday let. A different family eats Brazilian beef this Christmas without knowing why the price went up. The Treasury collects £140,000. The land never produces British food again.

@SimonMagus I have helped build the fastest-growing city-region in the UK. Think you need to put that in your pipe and do the necessary, Simon.😉

I don't think I like Andy Burnham much. Everything from the performative catholicism and fake "I'm like you" through to the tremulous endorsement of the worst of woke. Even more than Starmer, 'Andy' uses the 'I'm one of you' shtick and thinks his Northern vowels trumps Keir's educated but nasal south London. But Burnham is still a fake, still in hock to the nodding-doggery of righteous left wing people and still believing that you get economic growth by taxing people so you can buy votes.

@Keir_Starmer Politicians should bring people together, not shut them out just for daring to be patriotic eh Keir?

Football should bring people together, not shut them out. For the first time since the competition began, fans won’t be able to watch the Champions League final for free. That’s not right. This is bigger than wanting to watch Arsenal in this historic final. It’s bigger than one club. Hardworking people shouldn’t have to fork out for a subscription to watch this match. I urge TNT Sports to reconsider and make the final next Saturday free to watch.

Rachel Reeves cutting VAT on family summer activities is exactly the kind of practical politics people want to see. Helping families afford days out, freezing fuel duty and easing pressure during the holidays instead of endless culture wars? More of this please.

Prime Minister of Israel
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “Israel has every right to prevent provocative flotillas of Hamas terrorist supporters from entering our territorial waters and reaching Gaza. However, the way that Minister Ben Gvir dealt with the flotilla activists is not in line with Israel’s values and norms. I have instructed the relevant authorities to deport the provocateurs as soon as possible.”

Both men said, "I can't breathe." Both men died while in police custody. One received nonstop global coverage, global politicians kneeling, murals and statues. The other barely made the news. Can you guess which is which?

Awkward for Reform that net migration has crashed since Labour have been in power.

Today Starmer is “hailing” a huge deal between Britain and the Gulf states worth £3.7bn. This was made possible by Brexit freedoms (we can now negotiate our own trade deals). But Starmer isn’t “hailing” that. Because his party plans to reverse Brexit. politico.eu/article/keir-s…

Across the country, free breakfast clubs are saving parents £450 and boosting children’s life chances. Will Reform councils back Nigel Farage in his attempt to close these clubs, pinch money from parents and take food out of local children’s mouths? sunderlandecho.com/news/people/su…
