@Samfr Human nature. Many people have aspiration, a desire to pass the fruits of their labour to family and a set of values that leads them to feel taxing inheritance is unfair. They are unlikely to pay it, but if they were lucky enough to be in that position they'd rather not.
@sambrook How do you propose the man in the street watching BBC and following presenters on social media distinguishes between BBC staff and freelance presenters? They all work under the badge of the BBC.
@rcolvile@FraserNelson Moving more of the orange bar into the green bar sounds good, but isn't there a risk this kicks a problem down the road? Giving people money now so they don't get it later? But many will need it in retirement. Pensions have become a race to the bottom, feels wrong.
Hey @BBCOne@ClaudiaWinkle crazy suggestion, how about next season putting a version of #TheTraitors on #iplayer next season where you can watch without knowing who the traitors are? So we could watch along without having a clue either.
@FraserNelson Mine has yet to arrive and this is not an infrequent problem. I love getting the magazine, I read pieces I don't pick up online, but in the last year delivery has got later and less reliable to the point of considering changing my subscription.

@DPJHodges@rcolvile What part of the market is failing in your view Dan?
The utility companies providing consumers and businesses gas and electric?
The distribution companies transporting it to premises?
The generating companies?
Or these extracting the fuels from the ground?
@MarkOgden_@YouTube Think you put the question mark in the wrong place there? Did you mean "Where is Manchester United's biggest problem? On the pitch"
@JonnElledge@rcolvile@sallonsax Sorry, I read the argument there as "The current Tory bloke is a wrong un and wouldn't follow precedent so nobody else should". If you want better standards of governance that respects these things shouldn't you advocate for following precedent rather than a race to the bottom?
@EmmaKennedy It was a bit of a scandal at the time and the Audit Office reviewed it but it's also fair to point out that it was under the coalition government and the responsible minister was Vince Cable https://t.co/TpD6Vnzt7z
