Proust had his madeleine, but I would choose a plasticky tea from a tartan Thermos flask as my time machine.

Trump's visit to his golf course in Doonbeg, County Clare, Ireland is marked by protestors using the medium of mime. Homage to the late great Janey Godley, it's a thing of beauty.

@paullewismoney I think Richard hits the nail on the head

[Richard Lyon @RichardLyon_]

False.

[1] The article's own source refutes it. Strutt & Parker, Winter 2025/26: the IHT reforms "have had less immediate impact on transactions than perhaps some had anticipated. Demand from non-farmer buyers has remained relatively stable."

[2] Wrong year. These are 2025 deals. The £2.5m regime was announced 23 December 2025 and took effect 6 April 2026. Nearly every transaction counted had exchanged before the policy's final shape existed.

[3] It's thirteen deals. 16% to 11% of ~264 sales is roughly 42 falling to 29. Two-proportion z-test: p≈0.09, and the sold sample is smaller than 264. No confidence interval appears anywhere in the piece.

[4] Read off a bar chart. Neither 59% nor 11% appears in S&P's text. Private Eye eyeballed Figure 9; TLE reprinted it as a finding.

[5] Wrong denominator. S&P: investor buyers "buy more acres than farmers." A falling share of transactions is compatible with rising acreage in non-farming hands. The metric that would test the policy's aim is the one not reported.

[6] Simpler explanation, unexcluded. Land fell 5.1% in 2025, the steepest drop since 2016. Cheaper land favours the bidder with the smallest budget and an operational reason to buy. No tax motive required.

The honest headline: farmer share rose for a second year while prices fell 5%, and the agents reporting it say the tax change is not why.

Oh dear, @LondonEconomic 😬

Terrific piece by @JeremyClarkson in today’s Sunday Times on replacing Monty Don. Very funny, perceptive and absolutely on the money. It also explains why Clarkson has an extraordinary habit of making successful television programmes: he understands the chemistry of good tv
