@KirstieMAllsopp Yes, but do you really think that people only pave their front gardens to charge an EV? They’ve been doing it for years.

Am I the only one who thinks there is something off about encouraging people to pave over their front gardens in order to provide a pace to charge their electric car?! 🌎

1.5 million signatures on this petition in a day.
Remember only 9.7m out of 67.3m voted for @labour
There’s a lot of people showing their disapproval of Heir Starmer and his band of imbeciles.
It’ll be interesting to see how many signatures it will be at in a week!

@SpottydogPaulG @StuartMaggs @DanNeidle I think that’s what Dan’s suggested - if you inherit farmland and sell it then you’ll be taxed as anyone else would be on inherited cash or property.
English
Really pleased to have been asked by @DanNeidle to comment on his detailed work. His final proposal (raise cap to £20m but have a tapered clawback on relief below that level if the farm is sold) should address the issue for the vast majority of family farmers.
Dan Neidle@DanNeidle
New data on farms and inheritance tax: a third of farm estates over £1.5m aren’t farmers but wealthy people avoiding IHT by sinking money into farmland. The Budget hits farmers too hard and tax avoiders too lightly. It needs to change.

@averagepunter81 @CockertonMark She wasn’t a complaints manager at HBOS - there’s either another RR people are mixing her up with or some “misremembering”.

Loads on Twitter alleging that Rachel Reeves wasn’t an economist but just ordered paper clips.
Strange then that the stationery ordering assistant was allowed to write what looks like a pretty important paper for the Bank of England nearly 20 years ago? #page=2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">bankofengland.co.uk/-/media/boe/fi…

@5tephenRN @brismaug @PrivateEyeNews Channel 4 is taxpayer owned but funds itself through advertising and other income. No taxpayer funding.

@brismaug @PrivateEyeNews BBC is not taxpayer funded you ignorant fuckwit. Channel 4 is.

@MonkEmma @MrJamesMay Apparently not. Its value for IHT is as farmland, not development land. Prices have been driven up by wealthy people buying farmland to avoid IHT.
English
@MrJamesMay I suspect it’s because the “value” of the land has been pushed up to crazy levels over the decades driven by other land worth for houses, developments etc.
No one would actually pay THAT value to buy the land if they had to farm it.
It’s the mismatch between the two
English
I’m trying to follow the great farming debate but, as an economics illiterate, I’m baffled. If a farm has a nominal value of, say, £3m but generates an income of only c. £40k, how can it really be worth that much?
This is not, bt dubs, a loaded question. I’m interested.

@AvantiWestCoast what’s the problem at Euston (again) - every train delayed

@100Climbs Love the way the UK press are reporting it as a competitive, triumphant finish to his career. Phillipsen and Girmay sat up about 50m out. And Froome leading the break til 3km to go!

@BrokenBennett Campanet road? We got blocked off the other end of it a few years ago on the way back from a decent day out. Not happy.

@winkywinkle @KirstieMAllsopp That is what I think they should have to do. They gpt planning and bought the site with (say) 40% affordable or housing assoc houses - make them stick to it.
English
@andyfrom_embsay @KirstieMAllsopp Or Andy - you can ask the house builders to sell the houses at prices they suggest at their viability assessment?
English
I’m in Yorkshire viewing a 1216 sq ft mid 50’s semi, with 4 beds, it sold in 2001 for £124,000, in 2018 for £350,000 & is now on for £495,000. This is not sustainable (and mucking about with SDLT isn’t going to solve the problem) we have to take a really radical approach.
English
@winkywinkle @KirstieMAllsopp And you can stop the loophole that lets developers wriggle out of affordable housing targets after planning permission to build more and more 4 and 5 bed houses. They don’t have to justify it - just say “ah, profit is looking a bit tight - best cut affordable from 40% to 10%”

@Secret_Junkyard @KirstieMAllsopp And actually you only have to go 6 miles from Ilkley to Silsden (nice little town) and look what you get for £165k. rightmove.co.uk/properties/149…

@Gus_preston @ChrisG01 @ShloppyThirds @DavidDavisMP As Gus says - its value for solar/housing/golf is irrelevant for IHT purposes.
English
@ChrisG01 @andyfrom_embsay @ShloppyThirds @DavidDavisMP When a farmer applies for APR, the land is valued only for its worth for agriculture.
What you would get selling it for windfarms, or housing etc is irrelevant.
If a farm is unproductive, the land is "worthless" for agriculture.
English
I am deeply concerned about the future of farming in East Yorkshire, where the size of the average farm is ~230 acres, with values ranging ~£2.5-£3.5 million.
To the farmers in my constituency, the proposed £1 million cap on Agricultural Property Relief is simply not enough.
English
@apsamuelson @ShloppyThirds @DavidDavisMP For IHT purposes it’s valued purely for agriculture, no other development value
English
@ShloppyThirds @DavidDavisMP Because every so often they get millions for a single field for houses, plus the land is used to avoid IHT
English
English
@ShloppyThirds @DavidDavisMP Because land is worth money to corps that want to put solar panels all over it. Farmers are asset rich, but cash poor. And without the asset they can’t make money. They will have to sell land to pay the tax, less land = less chances to make money. Full stop
English
@ThatArrowsmith @ShloppyThirds @DavidDavisMP It’s valued as purely agricultural land for IHT purposes, not other development.

Quite a specific request (perhaps @kenflewitt can help) but does anyone know a bike shop in Puerto Pollensa that stocks Lezyne? Idiot here left their pocket drive on the wrong bike.
