🚨 Hi everyone. To celebrate Arsenal’s title win I'll be giving away THREE 'Champions' prints by the brilliant @matthewjiwood to three random winners - Simply repost this to enter Winners picked on Saturday. (If you're not feeling lucky the prints - and loads of others - can be found here: matthewjiwood.com/arsenal-poster)

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.

Arsenal fans in what year did you start supporting the Arsenal?

@baldridgecpa So true, their tech is awful but offering is brilliant.

The best advice I always give to newly exited founders: Open a Vanguard account. Not Fidelity. Not Schwab. Vanguard. 'Smart advice,' You might think. 'They do have the lowest fees..' Wrong. Their interface is so awful, you will never trade.. Has made my clients millions.

@charles_watts That might be the best way for him to find out!

Arteta on winning the title on Tuesday night: “It’s one of the best feelings I’ve ever had. I went home, I went outside, I started to do some bbq. I couldn’t watch it (the match). I could hear noises from inside, then my son opened the door, ran towards me. He was crying and he said ‘we are champions daddy.’”

Some things age better than others…

The incredible scenes outside the Emirates as Arsenal win their first Premier League title in 22 years… 🤯👏🏼

Congrats @Arsenal The best team won it this season. 👏🏻

TONIGHT IS FOR US. and then will come the receipts.

Excited for Millwall away cos I’ll get stabbed and won’t have to support West Ham anymore

@ForAntilly @rickygervais Great choice!

After Life has been voted Britain's best modern comedy in Radio Times poll. Congratulations @rickygervais! A modern masterpiece indeed. 🎬

Declan Rice has been superb again tonight for Arsenal as he has been all season. It absolutely beggars belief he’s not Player of the Season

@6thiagoat From a Liverpool fan.. you guys murdered 39 Juventus fans and got English clubs banned from Europe.

Just found this video again, this is exactly why nobody wants Arsenal to win the league. Scummiest club ever.

@LauraKirk12 I want Arteta to invite Arsene into the changing room before CL final so he can deliver a this is my fucking club speech like the photographer.

@donnod6519 @sharrond62 😂

@sharrond62 A Total Collapse of The Heart

Very sad to see this. I was in LA when she won her Grammy. Everyone was clambering to get their picture with her yet she made a beeline to say hello to a fellow Brit. Always very down to earth. Wishing a Speedy recovery

@SkySportsNews Fuck Off Jimmy Floyd Hasselcunt

"I do think the celebrations were a little bit too much, it's about winning it" Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink on Arsenal's joyous celebrations after winning last night to reach the Champions League final 🎉

@BBCSport Amazing how the people with the most followers seem to make it through the major marathon ballots each time.

Incredible numbers! 👏👏 It is the first time that more than a million applications from the UK alone have been submitted!

@wsusportsunion @sharrond62 @parkrun Why are there women on this thread trying to make things worse for other women? I don’t get it!! The men have a category of their own why don’t the women??

The Women’s Sports Union have formally warned 9 sporting bodies and @parkrun that they are in breach of UK law by failing to protect women’s and girls’ sport from transgender ideology. 📣 Women’s sport must be protected at all levels. #SaveWomensSports telegraph.co.uk/sport/2026/04/…

@Politicalzilla @livgolf_league This aged well.... 🤣🤣

So French, aka Monday Q is on panic control going on every show possible from 5 Clubs to Gravy and The Sleeze to defend his indefensible actions an irresponsible reporting on @livgolf_league. The fact that he is going on these PGA Tour friendly shows tells you everything you need to know about this guy. He jumped into the lion's den and know he's looking for sympathy. Bad moves come with bad consequences. Good luck getting your reputation back!

@Richard56370536 @jamesdavis6939 Easy for you to say Richard, doesn't affect you.

@jamesdavis6939 Parkrun isn’t a sporting competition, it’s a community event where we can rise above rigid categories and just let people take part, together

It means the world to me that I am receiving such a huge surge in support. Thank you so much everyone. Running is my life, and I speak out because I want women and girls to have the same sporting opportunities as I have. As the idiom goes, this is the hill I’m willing to die on.
