We were 2nd in the world for service exports in 2023, same as 2016

But for goods exports, we have dropped from 10th place in 2016 to 15th place in 2023, overtaken by 🇧🇪

“farmers will pay half the rate of everyone else and start paying it at a much higher threshold ranging from £1.3m to £3m depending on whether they’re single and whether they own a house”

shouldn’t be that complicated

lost track of the number of journalists writing that farmers will get hit with IHT above a £1m threshold *for their entire estate*

ignoring the reality that it’s £1m of land per person on top of existing IHT threshold of up to £1m (£3m max)

feels like a major comms failure by government as well
