Perhaps if one doesn't like what's reported in the press, just dismiss it as right wing lies.

What have the left wing press reported?

Labour had very specifically told the farmers (prior to the issue of their manifesto) that IHT was not to be changed. They had/have every right to change their mind, but they could have, or should have, told the farmers of this. The silence on the matter in their manifesto does not, in this...

You're clutching at straws now.

No, it doesn't. We all have to pay our way, regardless of whether we have a "meaningful" job - whatever you mean by that.

OK, but can we expand on that "help if necessary" bit. Who does that? Is it added to the doctor's many roles? Or a part of the palliative care nurses role? I think we'd find rather a lot of medical staff who would not do it.

And a mention for Welbeck. Brilliant.

Yes, but the farm is not a "pension pot" built up over the farmer's working life, like yours or mine. The farmers never earn enough to build up a pension. So the effect of IHT will be to reduce the means for their successors to earn, whether they sell off part of the farm or pay it off over...

Unfortunately with all the inflationary moves so far, ie increasing wages, increasing employment costs, interest rates are probably more likely to rise sooner rather than later. Edit - oh look, inflation up to 2.3% already.

Yes but we won't. Just cover the country with theme parks and solar panels.

Now we are stuck with this lot for five years we may as well hope they can do some good. Doesn't look a very good start, though.

Steve Reed is looking like a nasty person. He has a vendetta against wealthy people investing in farm land, which he says they do for inheritance purposes. That being the case, why not find a way to claim more tax from those horrid wealthy people, instead of raising crippling taxes on farmers?

All of it should be NATO decisions. Otherwise if it all kicks off NATO could just blame the US.

Yes, it's a little bit later than 1984 but I think Orwell had the right idea.

I think they're being disrespectful to Carsley. I bet most will suddenly feel better when Tuchel arrives.

I see election manifestoes as nothing more than a wish list. Believe it all at your peril. I only get upset if the manifesto states something in particular which either the party knew could not be achieved or does not yet know enough to make such promises. I am afraid I would put the labour...

Depending on a lot of ifs and buts, it may be possible to take at least some out and put it into an ISA, thus protecting the tax-free status.

Ah, 1973. A fine Conservative government under Heath.
