Romania just put a previously completely unknown far right, Russia supporting guy through to the final round for presidential elections. And now it's been found that Tiktok was boosting his videos (illegally presented videos) and suppressing his opponents.

Are politics becoming more principled again? Resigning from the cabinet for that seems a big step forward from parties during quarantine, affairs and Barnard castle type behaviours...

So most of their fresh fruit and veg is more expensive now. Fat food restaurants rejoice (leaving the spelling in).

It may not be the norm - which I didn't assert - it's an example of what a farm looks like if you are trying to make a full time living off it and these are the people who are hit hardest by the legislation because the land value and the income don't line up the way most assets do. My assertions ar...

Feel free to show me any numbers I have given that are incorrect. I have pointed out what it takes to make an actual living on a farm. Smaller farms are frequently rented out to a farmer who may well be farming several farms. For all I know the owners may well own it to avoid IHT. This legislation ...

In that calculation I've taken it as an arable land price and then added on for farmhouse and other stuff. Thought that was clear. I mean where did you get the price of £12k an acre? The article you link gives £11,300 but it's not the latest one. https://rural.struttandparker.com/article/english-es...

Even on an average price of about £12k/acre, about £1.5 million. Add the farmhouse and equipment to get approx £2million. Husband and wife allowance plus family home allowance plus farm allowance means no IHT. But price per acre is very variable. https://rural.struttandparker.com/article/english-es...

Again, you numbers here are only about the very largest farms. 90% of farms in the UK are less than 500 acres. 59% are less than 123 acres. https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/structure-of-the-agricultural-industry-in-england-and-the-uk-at-june You can give your opinion on how hard ...

Just finished batman Arkham Shadow. Quest 3/3s exclusive. If you enjoyed the Arkham series of games, this is fantastic. They've managed to translate the combat into vr extremely well, stealth is also good. Absolutely loved it, and planning on trying to nail the combat challenge rooms too, desperatel...

Average farm size in the uk is 80 hectares, around 200 acres. So you’ve picked an example which doesn’t portray the average situation. That’s what people are doing here, pretending big farms and big assets are the average. This is part of the 'lies, damn lies and statistics' that allow different pa...

Because it's not just and asset, it's also your business and your family's occupation and a way of valuing an asset for hundreds of years has been changed with <2 years notice. Farming has a ridiculously low ROI, largely due to the IHT relief but also historically due to tenancies etc. Say you have...

Looking at farm sales at the moment, and most of what I'm thinking is that if these manor houses and halls and multiple residences have been avoiding iht all this time, I'm not too upset with that turning around a little. I presume they have been, but might be wrong? The land absolutely has value, b...

£200k spread over 10 years interest free remember! So you can even time when you want to take the mortgage out with regards to clearing the last of it. And if course, that's assuming you have a farm with £4m in the first place. A farm with a value of £4m is unlikely to be a viable business to start...

Thing is that this is affecting people who actively want to farm the land rather than cash in. If you want to farm it your asset value is irrelevant to your ability to pay the taxman. Their plan B of sell the farm and make a tidy sum clearly means they’re not a breadline case, but it does mean that...

If married, and with a farm house on the farm, that's £3m untaxed inheritance according to the BBC. £1m each for the farm, £325k that everyone gets each, £175k for property each.... If you've got £4m in assets, I'm going to struggle to have much empathy if you need to pay £200k in tax on that... Th...

So turns out if you get on with it, you can make things better without wasting hundreds of millions on 4 people. The 3 biggest deportation flights have taken place under this government. And a big increase in forced deporations. As well as sending a criminal helping lots of people crossing the chann...

DOGE is so efficient it's getting two people in charge...

Duponts law completely out the window then, thought so from the England game last week. Can't blame the refs, they can't watch both the escorts keeping clear and the rest of the team properly retreating until onside.

"By June 19, 2024, 37 396 people had been killed in the Gaza Strip since the attack by Hamas and the Israeli invasion in October, 2023, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, as reported by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.1 The Ministry's figures have been contested ...

I don't know, who in Gaza has the resources to actually provide real data? It's clear that many 10000s have been killed and many many more have been injured If we can't trust the data then why do we trust the data? Too many have died. But if the same Gazan department is reporting 25k deaths, and 8k...

Basically Trump got the white male vote by a good margin, and the white female vote by a reasonable margin. Latino men were close, but favoured Harris, everyone else was overwhelmingly Harris. Young were mostly Harris, and Urban was mostly Harris. From what I've read, Democrats got 15 million less v...

He'll be free to play golf as much as he likes again, without the threat of prison.

Still a useful skill for Lions tours, especially for someone they perhaps may see as more mid week than main tour.

IHT payments will increase as the housing market pushes more estates above the half million pound threshold - that’s a fair amount of tax-free cash. As things stand you can leave everything to your spouse without tax, you can leave up to £325k to you children without taxation, that threshold increa...

Fixing CGT and inheritance taxes will effect the redistribution a lot more than increasing the lowest tax bracket by a grand.

I thought, at least in the proper leadup to the election, they just refused to answer questions on raising tax. Instead talking about how they were going to also generate funds. I don't recall them saying they wouldn't, and took their silence to rather suggest they would, they just didn't know what...

Not watched much, but what I've read suggests he'd perhaps not be in line for a cap any time soon, but as an EQP player again, he'd be worth more to clubs.

I haven't watched a huge amount of the Prem so far, but it strikes me that this really is the sort of time where older members of the pack need to start being moved on. That doesn't mean shedding every single experienced option, but it probably does mean not including both George and LCD and not br...

Still not moving on from the likes of Marler, Ewels, Daly et al and some notable absentees in the forwards. Struggling to get excited about this. With the injuries it can make sense to call up old heads, rather than kids that aren't going to have time to settle in, before they're displaced again fo...

Can't see the Nato invite happening immediately, since the moment it's done, if Russia doesn't withdraw, it's effectively Nato declaring war on Russia right? I can see it happening immediately after a peace is reached, but not before.

Supposedly a load voted for their second choice, on the thinking that cleverly was safe.

England just look like they really enjoy playing. Having a lot of fun out there. John Mitchell runs them with the attitude of handbrake off, but learn quickly. Under Mitchell there seems to be much more focus on playing good rugby and using England's world class backs to full advantage, rather than...
