Here's the thing. If you're buying a house and everything is simple, you can ask your conveyancer how much stamp duty to pay. If things are complex - e.g. there's a trust - this is a very bad idea. If Ms Rayner just asked her conveyancer then that was a mistake.

Brilliant response to usual scaremongering about rich leaving! In any case, why should the rich be rewarded for bad behaviour? If the rest of us didn’t pay our taxes properly we’d rightfully get in trouble

I & ⁦@MaggieOliverUK⁩ agree - what’s the point of a costly & lengthy national inquiry when previous inquiries haven’t been implemented, even in part? Local independent inquiries with survivor voices are the best way of proceeding with urgency theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/j…

Why, if Matt Goodwin agrees that a descendent of migrants like me is English, does he keep on emphasising that the Southport suspect is the 'child of Rwandan immigrants' if he was born in Wales? I put the question to him on Moral Maze. Listen here:
