This is wonderful. If you want to know more about the farmer inheritance tax debacle, you must read this thread. Don't be fooled by the "media".
Copied from the other place... So, I've just spent a bit of time looking into the debate on IHT and farming. I... got a shock. First, a note: I have a friend who runs a family farm. In his view, the whole thing is a something and nothing. 🧵

New plan from Streeting to ‘name and shame’ failing NHS trusts+sack failing leaders.

Politicians have fragmented the NHS, introduced privatisation, some trusts are more impacted by complex factors locally. Streeting should support NHS leaders, not scapegoat them🚨

This is exactly what I was hoping for. Not an echo chamber of consistent opinions, but an echo chamber of consistent respect. It feels like coming home.
I would say one of the best pros is that as a conservative I have engaged many liberals and most people have been very open to conversation. It overall just seems more civil and like what conversation or sharing your cultural beliefs and values should be like.

Me, leading people from the other place to #Bluesky!

Welcome, newbies! I'm a medical historian who likes to remind people the past was pretty awful.

If you ever wondered what would happen if you needed a leg amputated in 1832, or if you had a toothache in 1765 - look no further.
