Since 2016, there have been 3 elections, 6 PMs, and 4 different Brexit deals, none of which the Brexiters like.

Yet the same Brexiters who said voting on those deals would break democracy, want another election, because they don't like the result of the one 4 months ago.

These people are toddlers.

Is this the return of reasonable debate in UK politics?

Regardless of your position on the matter, it’s just nice to see a respectful and sensible conversation between two people on opposing sides of a debate.

If you encounter anyone sleeping rough tonight in the UK, please contact the relevant Local Authority.

When speaking to the LA, they should ask is SWEP (Severe Weather Emergency Protocol) is active.

If so, then the LA is bound by law to provide accommodation to anyone sleeping rough.

With the snow falling it’s hard not to think of those sleeping rough and how difficult it must be

In Liverpool if you see someone sleeping rough, the Severe Weather Emergency Protocol has been activated today and people are urged to call this number if they see someone on the streets

To be clear:

It's £1m untaxed, plus £325k of standard tax free inheritance.

You can double that if the farmer is married.

So farmers can hand down £2.65m tax free, and their kids pay 20% on everything else.

Tax on your job is 40% over £50k

"Land owner" is not a job

🧵
This will affect fewer than 500 farms, and the IFS says farms are "still more generously treated than they used to be in decades past"

It's just closing a loophole that's been used to avoid inheritance tax, and which pushes up farm rents and makes it harder for 76% if farmers to make a profit.

Hugely important actions here by Liberty & Peter Sefanovic.

No Government is above the law and this must be fought to curb excessive powers being used to abuse all of our rights.

The last 14 years and the redistribution of wealth to the already super rich has left us with this kind of situation.

Britain is currently a failed state and the balance of wealth needs addressing.

What disappoints me most about his supporters is that their entire platform is about HURTING others.

Taking away rights.

Taking away benefits.

Taking away a path to citizenship.

It’s a platform based on cruelty.

They hate their lives and prefer if everyone suffered rather than solving it.

Sad.
