So, I've just spent a bit of time looking into the debate on IHT and farming. I... got a shock. First, a note: I have a friend who runs a family farm. In his view, the whole thing is a something and nothing. 🧵
Dear #KemiBadenoch in the light of your comment that not all cultures are = valid , I thought this chart might help you decide.
It’s the one issued by the Nazi govt to work out who was a ‘valid’ German
Sadly, my family wasn’t deemed ‘valid’ and were exterminated.
Good luck babes
In response to the numerous press requests
A court of law found #MariehaHussain not guilty.
Whatever Rishi Sunak and Suella Braverman think of that decision that is the rule of law and they are not above the law.
I applaud the courts decision and judgement of Judge Vanessa Lloyd, the overwhelming evidence of multiple academics and other expert witnesses. It was the right decision and I rightly congratulated Marieha on her acquittal.
I was subsequently asked to delete my public support for Marieha - I refused to do so.
That is the basis of the complaint. No other comments or language is the basis of the complaint.
The case was due to be conducted in private behind closed doors, I was not told who the complainant was and this is material considering the detail of bad faith practice the court heard about during the trial.
I was also told I could not discuss the matter with others.
It was effectively to be a secret retrial of the #coconuttrial
I was not prepared to accept this.
I felt it appropriate in the circumstances to resign my whip and look forward to dealing with these issues openly and transparently in the coming weeks and months
This makes me so angry. I’ve known Kev since I was 18, and I’ve never seen him like this. I don’t believe in hell, but these medics and carers were in it, and the bastards who made light of this plague, denied it, called it a flu, and made it worse for everyone, you deserve it.
