@paullewismoney Surely this omits two obvious ways forward? Transfer farm to offspring now and live 7 more years, pay no IHT. Create a company and transfer/sell the farm to it. Why don’t they work?

@bmay A fascinating response! Badenoch 2, Jenrick 15 and the no longer running Cleverly about 15,000. Not Cleverly odd not clever for the Tories

Imagine if the £22bn was invested instead in a nationwide programme to upgrade housing with insulation & heatpumps - demonstrable, proven emissions reductions - reduced reliance on gas - more jobs, nationwide - lower fuel bills - warmer homes, less pressure on NHS

@HughSykes It’s not Mikardo. I think it’s the Scottish guy from TGWU who went on to chair conference a bit later and got presented with a bunch of flowers to mark his sexism!

@sector4focus Top left Mikardo? Definitely Lena Jeger. 44 years ago. Feels like yesterday. Comrades & Composites. Michael Foot lunching alone in a corner of Roberts Oyster Bar. Glorious Blackpool, infectiously cheerful families there for The Lights. The Pleasure Beach : The Wild Mouse ride.

#LabourConference24 Some memories. Photos I took at the Labour conference in #Blackpool in 1980. James Callaghan, Michael Foot, Tony Benn, Dennis Skinner....and....?

I’m inviting trouble with this question but it’s been a few days now and I still can’t figure out why some people are so angry that Sue Gray ( once a very senior civil servant) earns £3k more than PM Starmer, and why on earth it’s even a big-ish news story. Explanations,pls?

Nigel Farage earns more in two months than Sue Gray gets in a year.

@MartinSLewis Allow inflation rise in short term (to stop universities failing), cut in long term after thorough review

Today's Twitter Poll: Would you support or oppose Universities being allowed to increase Tuition Fees with inflation? The tuition fee cap was set at £9,000 in 2012 and rose to £9,250 in 2017 it has been frozen since meaning substantial real term cuts to universities income from home undergrad students, which has left some struggling. Which is closest to your view?

@MerrynSW Or in other words, about the same as she was earning as a civil servant. Real question is, why do we pay our PM less than a Council chief executive?

@georgeeaton Spot on! @MayorofLondon We helped create the European single market, we should be reaping the benefit of it, it won’t happen quickly but we should avoid moving even further away

@Wonkypolicywonk @TorstenBell This is so absolutely right. Think of the Winter Fuel Allowance as a sort of UBI: it is neither adequate nor effective in achieving what it sets out to do. Targeting help works!

@DrFrancesRyan @adrianoldman So single sex education, cramming, caning, deprived of family and community, with short cuts to uni and privilege is ‘the finest education’, is it?? Or is this irony? An alternative to education, more like. The louts (is that term ok?) she refers to are deprived sociopaths

It may be tempting to call rioters “morons” etc but it’s also classist and ableist. Many of the politicians and pundits who stoked this violence are privileged with the finest education. Meanwhile, it’s the working class who’ve long stood up to fascists. Racism has no price tag.
