He never withdrew his support. But as overseeing minister he had to remain impartial. After it was granted he was anything but impartial. He tweeted how much be liked our songs about him, he told many people how our campaigns had touched him amd he came to see the stadium build ahead of the...

I did say from his man management perspective. I'm pretty sure his education policies weren't popular amongst teachers (I was a governor at the time). Although Nicky Morgan was much much worse

That is interesting to know. I have friends who worked in department for education who speak highly of Gove from a man management perspective I hadn't realised he was at foreign and commonwealth office too.

Having seen the potential binfest on here I did read William Hague's heartfelt tribute today. He also posted this video of 2 people who disagreed but clearly had respect for each other

She suffers from bells palsy that causes part of her face to drop. The surgery is as much about trying to correct that as anything else. How she spoke about the fake sheikh (I have a friend who was close to john altman who had his career ruined by that vile scum) and the way she is with people...

It was soon after ffp was announced and barber and bloom were trying to cut their cloth accordingly given previous spending decisions. Rumour has it that's why Oscar left as he knew what was coming. Burke and his predecessor were both appalling in different ways.

Nick Robinson mentions this morning that when Tony Blair defended his punching the egger with the words 'john will be john', he challenged him that it sounded like a mum defending her son on the steps of a court building. However the public did react as Blair had felt they would. It was...

A true legend and someone we should all be grateful to and for. He understood and has Nick Robinson says today, he put the labour in new Labour. We knew he didn't like confrontation and would be alienated by it. So we had to be memorable, friendly, humorous and clear with our message. Please...

Am I the only one who saw this thread earlier and wondered if it was to do with haemorrhoids? We've gone from thinking about piles to worrying about how Clarkson will cope with his piles of cash

But thems weren't the rules. They changed the rules after the realised he was well within them

We have already addressed. (Which you've ignored,) that he wasnt above the rules. He was working within the rules so much so that they had to change them!

Swapping a right winger for a centre forward. Sounds like a Graham Potter tactic

They do also have Philipson who I like and Reynolds, Healy, Mcfadden and Kendall showing I think so backbone and wanting to challenge some if the issues. Louise Haigh is interesting but a bit like Rayner in that they may not be politically smart but seem to care. Ed M is a natural fit for his...

Agree totally. The question is, now this change has been announced, will people like Clarkson look to offload their land. Will prices return to their more natural trajectory and if so, if either or both happen, will this reduce the numbers who will be subject to IHT?

And this is the issue - there is so much that cause issues to farmers that I am surprised this is the hill they are now fighting on. The irony is that the 40bn black hole is aligned to the 40bn a year that is now estimated to have been lost due to Brexit (pretty much as forecast by Osborne and...

I didn't say he was. But in the legal terms he is an expert witness.

TNT is part of discovery which is global and I think owned by warner bros

Yes he is. The constitutional committee is largely involved in discipline (policy, application etc). He was also heavily critical of Labour Party manifestos in 2017 and 2019. None of that stops him being a tax lawyer and tax journalist.

I don't disagree which is where planning ahead, gifting, spousal transfer are all key things that are needed now. That restricts the impact onto the clarksons et al

Is there an interest free option to pay IHT for farmland? also I read a long post by Dan Niedle (major tax journalist) and he addressed how to effectively plan ahead to reduce/remove IHT impacts. This includes gifting , or spousal transfer. Which many other business and families have been doing...
