The warnings of this retired former UK defence attaché in Moscow are still being ignored. Britain's future is dependent on finding honest and trustworthy leaders, uncorrupted by the temptations of wealth, who are willing to confront Russia and the other lethal threats we face.

Only made possible by Brexit. Finally, a benefit of leaving the EU and yet weirdly the Brexiters are all up in arms.

@TorstenBell What is your experience in farming and its costs. Tractor £250,000 Combined Harvester £500,000 Trailers £40,000 Plough £25,000 Seed Drill £72,000 And that's just for a start, so it doesn't take long to get £3 million for a family farm. Asset rich cash poor.

@grump999 @hx_06 @LukeTryl And most Britons only travel for holidays; they have the idea that if you go abroad it's a "jolly", you can't possibly be doing any real work.

English

Luke Tryl@LukeTryl·11 Kas

Worth saying the fact that “Starmer always seems to be abroad” has started coming up spontaneously in our focus groups. There maybe good reasons for that, but suggests at very least a need to communicate to public why it’s important he’s abroad so much.

Sam Coates Sky@SamCoatesSky

How much time has Keir Starmer been out of the country? Since Sept 1 Keir Starmer has been in: Ireland 1 day Italy 2 days Washington 2 days Berlin - 1 day Brussels - 1 day UNGA - 3 days Samoa - 5 days Budapest - 1 day France / COP - 2 days Next week G7 - 4 days 22 days on overseas trips since start of Sept to next Wednesday in that 77 day period. In that same period the Commons sat 34 days This isn’t judgement about whether this is right or wrong (and we discuss pros and cons in the podcast)

We have to accept that millions of Americans are misogynistic, climate change denying, racist fucking lunatics who don't give a single fuck about anything apart from the price of gas in their tanks. Having done that we need to stop caring about America and build a better Europe.

Conservative leaders who back Trump should be ashamed. They are abandoning the very values which were once the core of conservatism - betraying the very idea of constitutional government, prudence in policy, and simple decency. And they are also backing a loser...

@MilesKing10 @tomrtwit I've read that the valuation of agricultural land by HMRC for IHT purposes is based on agricultural income from that land, so may be considerably lower than what a non farmer might pay for it as an investment, or tax dodge!

English

Miles King@MilesKing10·31 Eki

@tomrtwit thanks Tom. I think the doubled figure included all farmland, including let land. It's nearly 6x increased.

Miles King@MilesKing10·31 Eki

As the dust settles after yesterday's reforming #budget2024, it's time to look at what the reforms to Agricultural Property Relief (APR) from Inheritance Tax (IHT) actually mean, instead of the toys out of the pram reaction from a section of the farming community. A short 🧵 1/7

The fact that Reeves, at the height of her political power, cannot reverse the “temporary” fuel duty freeze and 5p reduction demonstrates a laughable degree of spinelessness and weakness.

@petedroberts @EllieChowns Disagree. No single tool will fix a complex problem. Areas like yours need more and better on-demand public transport, minibuses & taxis, requiring significant subsidies. Taxes on fuel can provide this and also help to rebalance prices in favour of greener transport options.

English

Cllr Pete Roberts 🔶 @petedroberts.bsky.social@petedroberts·31 Eki

@bryanpready @EllieChowns You don't manage that by fuel duty. You manage it through increases in vehicle excise duty and I agree there are several classes of vehicle where that needs to rise significantly.

English

Dr Ellie Chowns MP@EllieChowns·30 Eki

£3bn in lost revenue by freezing fuel duty. Again. Meanwhile, 50% fares hike for those using buses, 4.6% increase in rail fares and a paltry £100m for walking & cycling infrastructure. This government is taking us in completely the wrong direction on transport. #Budget2024

@Pendles_Nina @MartinSLewis Public sector pensions are unaffected because there is no "pension pot" to inherit. Can't be passed on so no IHT to pay.

@MartinSLewis What about Starmer’s pension or did he already protect his little pot of gold?

Martin Lewis@MartinSLewis·30 Eki

Just to say the "inheritance pensions will be brought into inheritance tax from 2027" is a big change - i'm going to explain more about who this impacts after the budget speech is over.

@Singh_Mo @MartinSLewis "Idea" of all pensions is to provide for you and your dependents after you retire. That's why the contributions are tax-free. Not to create a tax-exempt inheritance.

@MartinSLewis WHOA! Bang goes the tax shelter for those savvy investors who had built up a property/Share portfolio in their SIPP ... idea was to pass majority of it on to offspring tax free ... now 40% tax!!!!!

@brownyyinseaham @MartinSLewis This only applies to private (defined contribution) pensions where money is invested in a "pot". Public sector pensions, including MPs, don't have a "pot" of money that can be inherited. The pension ends on the death of the spouse or other eligible dependents.

Stephen@brownyyinseaham·30 Eki

@MartinSLewis Unless you're an MP then I assume they are exempt from this policy?

@petedroberts @EllieChowns Absolutely. This ridiculous policy has encouraged too many drivers to buy unnecessarily large vehicles and use them too much, throwing away years of technological innovation designed to reduce fuel consumption. What's your solution for those who don't have cars?

English

Cllr Pete Roberts 🔶 @petedroberts.bsky.social@petedroberts·30 Eki

@EllieChowns Are you seriously suggesting that the remote rural residents in your constituency should pay increased fuel charges on cars they are forced to run if they want to work because there is no viable bus service in their area?

English

Bryan Pready 🇺🇳🇪🇺🇺🇦@bryanpready·31 Eki

@PJTheEconomist Maintaining the cut in fuel duty is profoundly disappointing. Undermines action on climate change by encouraging drivers to buy ever larger cars, throwing away years of technological innovation designed to reduce fuel consumption, as well substantial tax revenue.

English

Paul Johnson@PJTheEconomist·30 Eki

For goodness sake. Despite big tax rises overall chancellor has done it again. Fuel duty frozen and "temporary" 5p cut kept. This government is supposed to care about climate change. And I'm willing to bet fiscal numbers assume increases into the future. How much longer?
