You are confusing 2 things. A stamp duty and a capital gains tax. It matters not 1 jot who pays stamp duty, the amount the seller clears will remain the same. As will the overall amount the buyer pays.

The abolition of stamp duty will have 2 consequences. Firstly a reduction in govt revenue. Secondly a corresponding increase in house prices. Who benefits? House builders. Who loses? The rest of us due to less govt revenue. What a well thought through policy! Genius!

The Guardian lists 18457 names of Gaza's children killed in Israel's genocidal assault on Gaza.This shames Israel.This shames our govt for its complicity. Every one of these children had parents,probably brothers & sisters too.All of them had their future stolen.

Since the start of Israel's war on Gaza two years ago, Gaza’s Civil Defence has been under enormous pressure. The rescue workers know every mission could be their last.

No, she was beaten to it a few years ago. Opinions differ on precisely how many years ago but I'm plumping for Cameron circa 2015.

Based on the success of his predecessors chosen by the same process, yes, & no doubt equally successful.

Greta Thunberg has just been released and she is back on the warpath, exactly like our leaders should be.

Israel will never silence her or the billions who oppose them.

There used to be an eccentric road safety campaigner in Wimbledon in a bike. It appears Victoria Aitken has inherited his jacket

Not sure we should be surprised at Israel's actions as they're proud of their genocide in Gaza. The Guardian should describe the hijacking of the flotilla as precisely that,& not an interception. As for Israel respecting all rights? A laughable claim.

Gaza flotilla members allege beatings and insults in Israeli detention
Some of those held say guns were pointed at them, they were threatened with dogs and deprived of sleep

Visit Cornwall isn't/wasn't the Cornwall Tourist Board it was a self appointed organisation sponsored by the tourist industry. In recent years it encouraged over tourism & as some warned that would kill the goose that laid the golden egg. It has. No sympathy.

Landlords own 6 million houses in the UK, up from less than 2 million in 1990.

They keep at least 500,000 empty.

While there are more than 1 million 2nd homes which are empty 95% of the time.

There's loads of spare houses, just not for you.
