The Country Land and Business Association says the new £1m cap on agricultural inheritance tax relief will "harm 70,000 farms". That's 1/3 of all farms. What does the actual data show? Less than 500 farms/year will be pay more tax as a result of this change every year. Possibly…

If Times journalists took courses where they learned about the effect of skewed distributions on means and medians, perhaps they'd write better headlines (and earn more).

So, if you complain on twitter about british airways, you get replies from lots of spam accounts with no followers. I wonder what happens if you engage with them?

Absolutely blown away by @rachelebower's debut novel from @BloomsburyBooks. Heartbreaking and hopeful, it had me gripped from the start and I know already that it's characters will stay me with me a long time.

After so many years of being ruined by self-promoting and in many cases nasty adolescents, Britain now has a government of calm, public service-minded people. It’s a strange feeling seeing grown ups in charge.

This is the first UK government in 45 years that doesn't start with an obvious rift. (Maastricht; Blair/Brown x3; Brexit + contempt for LDs; Brexit; Brexit + integrity). I'm probably naive, but optimistic that Starmer can just appoint good people who won't do stupid stuff.

While they 'sympathised' with the fact that it would be 'better for her well being' to be at the school right by her house with all her friends, they didn't think it was fair to the other parents who put the church hours in.

VAT on school fees may not be the greatest policy, but the choice for parents of children at private schools is clear. Would you spend £20k to exempt your child from one year of national service or underwhelming "volunteering"? We all know what the answer is. #votelabour
