Often the way with government. We've definitely had an Autumn Budget/Statement in December.

What if David Miliband had won the Labour leadership rather than Ed?

She is also not someone who applied for citizenship and, with hindsight, wouldn't have been granted it. She was born and raised in the UK. She is a product of the UK.

Massive away win for the little fella.

There are already different rules for those who farm the land and those who just own it. Targeting passive owners (whether above or below £1m) rather than all owners would have been one option. £1m does not go very far for an active farmer with some land and heavy plant.

It has been unhelpful that a lot of the numbers overlook the fact that a working farmer can't just rely on APR. eg plant only qualifies for BPR. If you have APR land of 900K and BPR plant of £300K, HMRC's stats imply they are unaffected, rather than having an extra £100K subject to IHT.

Bluesky experience so far is lots of cat pics.
