Any deets as to how the Valuation Office will be implementing their "targeted valuation exercise"? Buying Zoopla guesstimates and then driving around? Something else?

Look, I know it means well but I really don’t think it’s a good idea to mock the appearance of some of the fash out today, nor their incoherence - not least because their process of online radicalisation is driven by both a sense of material helplessness and information overload
