1) For a couple leaving a farm to descendants, the tax threshold is £3 million, not £1 million as widely stated

Two busy bees (so busy we're blurry) representing #BitesizeBiodiversity and hunting for bugs @mfgwp open day. Happy 30th birthday guys!! @EmilyMillerchip

A very welcome step by @OfficeforEP to launch investigation into @DefraGovUK's authorisation of #neonics during previous Govt

Even better is the very clear @UKLabour manifesto promise (restated by a spokesperson today) to ban them, once and for all!

Under this government, rising numbers of people are unable to afford warm winter clothing. This is a very difficult time for many.

If you are able, please consider donating new or used winter clothing to @ClothingCov to help those in Coventry stay warm this winter.

A soggy morning puddling Horsefield dewpond with @froglifers !!! Was lots of fun compressing down the chalk to create a clay layer.
Hoping the puddling will help the dewpond hold more water🤞🏻🐸
