Only the richest 4% of people pay Inheritance Tax.
Only the richest 1.5% of farmers will pay HALF Inheritance Tax spread over 10 years.
This is a protest funded by the obscenely wealthy who want to pay no tax at all.

We are working with three teams of lawyers: (1) water companies can be sued but how do you protect yourself from huge costs risk (2) does polluting rivers and the sea breach the human rights of affected communities and (3) how should our interests be looked after as water companies are restructured?
@goodlawproject.bsky.social and @jolyonmaugham.bsky.social
Can anything be done?
Are there civil lawsuits that can be served?
Do you know any legal experts that can advise on this?
It feels like this is what I make a monthly contribution to Good Law Project for.

If you think, as I do, that GB News' open hostility to the LGBT+ community and Black and Brown people tacitly encourages violence we've made it very easy for you to tell Sky, one of its biggest advertisers, to stop funding hate.

Musk, Vance & Trump all misrepresent democracy.
When they say “democracy”, they mean a free-for-all with no rule of law, where the winner takes all.
When Europe says “democracy”, we mean proportional representation, collaborative politics, citizen rights, and agreed guide rails guaranteed by law.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.
Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.
