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?

When Europe says โdemocracyโ, we mean proportional representation, collaborative politics, citizen rights, and agreed guide rails guaranteed by law.
Five years after we left, a new YouGov poll finds a grand total of 2% of voters think Brexit has had a very positive impact on the NHS.

Trump comes for the scientists www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/01... Trump has cancelled almost all US government medical research. He's also cancelled communication on current medical crises. Mistrust of science is a fascist trait. It looks like the people of the USA are going to suffer for it.
