Boris and the Brexiters pledged if people voted leave we would take back control of our borders. The reality was he and his colleagues collectively oversaw a net increase in migration of almost one million people. It takes some proper brass neck to attack Labour over this.

No reporter seems to have yet found an 80-year-old farmer who still owns their own land and has children to pass it on to.
Maybe that's because most family farmers pass it on in their 60s, and die after any IHT is due?
It's a tax only paid by people who don't trust their children. All this 'I want to pass it on', clearly you don't.

It’s staggering how good farm owners have it.
Tax on a £3m house inherited from your parents: £800k.
Tax on a £3m farm inherited from your parents: £0.
And that’s AFTER Labour’s tax changes.

So much misinformation around today on who will be affected by changes to inheritance tax - and lobbyists pretending the data isn't clear to obfuscate. We have detailed data on estates so the truth is in fact very clear if you care to look 🧵

The working people of Britain have been struggling to make ends meet for the last 3-4 years. They've been told "sorry, we know it's hard, but it is what it is. You have to put up with it". But as soon as anyone says to the rich executives and shareholders of the wealthiest companies "can you just shave a little off your profits for a bit till we all get back on our feet" that's North Korean communism...
"You sound like somebody from North Korea!"
Mike Graham clashes with Mail on Sunday's Dan Hodges over Keir Starmer's socialist policies, going after big businesses making 'billions of pounds in profits'.

Half of farmland sold last year went to non-farmers including wealthy individuals trying to avoid inheritance tax.
It's right that tax changes will ensure everyone pays their fair share - and young farmers can realise their dream of buying their own farm.

Everyone showing their support for multi-millionaires today, where were you when nurses took industrial action? I remember, slagging them off, mainly. 🙄
