HELP! The Govt rushed through Inheritance Tax changes with no proper consultation. Family farms & businesses are at risk. Jobs, heritage & communities will be lost. I’m taking them to Judicial Review — please support 👉 crowdjustice.com/case/family…

It's just so tricky to figure out if vaccines work or not
Let's look at polio.
The data isn't clear
We may never know

Wise words from @TrooperSnooks, let's hope someone in DEFRA who has a better understanding of the countryside is explaining these points slowly and in simple terms to those making decisions. Even more salient with the news of delays in capital grant decisions.
"Rachel Reeves is literally KILLING wildlife!" - I think Reeves, Starmer, and Ed Miliband in particular need to take a good listen to this man at the farmers' protest 👇

Spent the day reworking all quotes for next year in light of the higher than expected increase in NLW and the double whammy with employers NI. Still, at least the exchange rate is stronger than last.... *checks rate*, oh shit!
Really.... this is the good news from the budget? 'We've completely screwed UK agriculture which provides the raw materials for your beer and we've increased the cost of employing the person who poured it by 8-10% but we're creaming a penny less off the top! Go us!!' #muppets
This is a Budget with cheaper pints.

One of the great England cricketers, doesn't get the credit he deserves. Listen to his team mates about his selfless attitude and his team first mentality. Allowed others to play their natural game. Third best England test spinner of all time as an all rounder
Has anyone had success with diversionary feeding of hares in the UK? We have a huge population but they love eating our Japanese Asters (cut flower crop). Is there another crop which we could plant as a companion to distract them? @GWCTScience @GrahamDenny9 @TrooperSnooks

I can see Ben Wallace setting up a British version of Wagner and taking power in a bloodless coup halfway though Keir's 1st term

REMEMBER: It's only a coup if it comes from the coup d'etat region of France. What's happening in Moscow right now is a sparkling insurrection.

My grandad fought in 1942 - he despised people like you, because hateful, divisive people like you are the people he was fighting.
So keep your reminiscence of the war to yourself because you don’t represent the majority of WW2 vets simply because you say you’re ‘patriotic’.

Davis getting a lot of abuse for this but social insurance systems in Europe get better outcomes than the NHS, don't have to ration nearly as much, and are free at the point of use.
The NHS and the US system aren't the only options.
As well as the immediate winter crisis, the NHS faces enormous long-term pressures which require structural reforms.
We should learn from systems in Europe that achieve better results and remain free at the point of use.
