Lots of over-the-top coverage right now about the £1m cap on inheritance tax agricultural property relief (APR).

@DeborahMeaden Our cats are terrified of our chickens - won’t go in the garden if they’re free ranging.

@BenStiller Can’t wait - best thing on TV and the cast, writing, direction, design, soundtrack… perfect. 👌

@MattP1Gallagher It’s not just not wanting the WDC but throwing away a very good chance for a 1-2 and to close in on the WCC. It was too close between the teams - feels like a “whoever leads into the first corner” order would have let them control the race.

@109mph AWS and gigabit fibre broke my home tinkering - always fall back to “way easier with EC2”.

@utb_smith Bet he’s got a nasty appendix scar.

@109mph That's a better surface than a good chunk of the proper roads around me at the moment - certainly smoother.

@Lambo88 It did feel a bit “I don’t want another business of [x] type” with a particular candidate being kicked out.

@Effie_D @IanDBlades Aldi have a really nice olive oil as well that's still cheaper than most of the other brands and tastes great: https://t.co/lneitcqDjU

@Mick4Boro @utb_smith Houchen's prone to quantum-entanglement as well, it's impossible to describe his state as at all separate from certain private sector partners and they share the same spin.

@Lambo88 @neilbelieves Better than Salvation/Genisys but that’s not saying much. I’ve got a soft spot for the concept and Hamilton/Arnie so still enjoyed it but I wouldn’t rush to see it.

@skatothecore I suspect that the bold Dennis McCabe bit is an e-signature, so potentially he's just signed that via an online form/PDF etc.

@utb_smith Still absolutely spot on: https://t.co/xf2jQpt77A

@109mph @canadiancarol1 Also if Middlesbrough council hadn't been run by a Conservative/Independent coalition from 2019-2023, with the previous independent mayor having something of a habit of some curious spending decisions.

@utb_smith They’ll wait until a week or two before the mayoral election so that Ben can have a truck load of “vindication” published that will be fresh in everyone’s mind.

@Stocklington @utb_smith There is a quote from the Post Office along those lines (can't find the exact quote). Horizon itself when it was developed for the DWP - where it crashed and burned - was intended to stop a huge amount (£150m) of benefits fraud so the concept was baked in. https://t.co/zOnbfRfCZ7
