@Kevin_Maguire You should try finding out what you are talking about first (I am not a farmer). Each generation of farmers is just the custodian of the land during their lifetime. If death duties are charged they will have to sell the farm to raise the cash.

@PolemicTMM Exactly!!

@timespolitics Exactly!!

@oliverbrown_tel @jk_rowling @UNSRVAW There is one very big problem with the Daily Telegraph article which is the claim that the Algerian female boxer named was born male. This is untrue. The author would have known that given just a little research.

@SilverstoneUK Silverstone Racing Club ceased to be relevant when the circuit side club house and grandstand were withdrawn as a "covid" measure which then became permanent. A great shame. Shame on the Silverstone management.

@julian_brazier @DonnaJonesPCC The root causes of the unrest are ignorance, racism and misinformation. These are the issues which need to be addressed. I think that many, like me, unreservedly condemn the violence, which is thoroughly contrary to British values.

@hmtreasury @RachelReevesMP @IMFNews @KGeorgieva This reads like a post by labour. Is that appropriate for civil servants??

@BillAckman @GovRonDeSantis And what about the evidence, which was overwhelming?

@nucleuswrap "now"??? That happened 30 years ago!

The definition of "politician" may need rethinking. This seems to mean that he is not listening to "Westminster". He is listening to the public. Good, he is proving that he is not one of "them", which is exactly what the country needs.

@NadiaWhittomeMP Hamas will never agree to a ceasefire, so what's the point of pursuing this? Another solution is needed.

War time debt levels without a war. And without a way to pull back spending. #biggovernment

Religion is primarily about how we live our lives. The state is intruding into our lives more and more, so the clash is inevitable.

Who believes the Archbishop of Canterbury should stay out of politics and tend his own flock?

@therealmissjo I'm trying to avoid the RB story as mere diversionary media tittle tattle at a time when there are quite serious economic and political problems in the world which actually deserve our attention. Surely this is just about cashing in on celebrity status to make money?

When you define success by how much money you have spent, a large amount is always wasted.

"There’s good news for anyone lying on a stretcher waiting for admission to A&E, who has been held in a queue for a hip operation or is pulling their hair out simply trying to book a GP appointment for a worrying pain down their left side.   There may be no doctor to see you, but you may get to see a diversity officer instead.

In other words, the NHS may often disappoint its patients, but at least in future they should all be equally disappointed..."

"...a leading oncologist at a London hospital recently revealed to me, doctors are already being forced to watch and re-watch 23 training videos, one of which, in his words, is “to try to bang into us that we are all born and bred racists and that we are full of unconscious bias”. He also told me that the first thing they are expected to ask patients is not “where does it hurt?” but what personal pronouns they would like to be known by. He says he has been banned from asking patients where they are from – even though that often has clinical implications, with some conditions unique to some parts of the world."

"What is so remarkable about the new initiative is that it runs directly counter to the instructions which have been given by our elected government...But it seems that when it comes to the NHS our elected government doesn’t count for much anymore. The health service has started behaving like a self-governed socialist state all of its own. The role of official government is simply to keep on handing the NHS ever more bounty – even though the extra billions are just feeding waste and wokery. When you start defining the spending of money as an achievement in itself – as governments increasingly do, boasting of how many extra billions they have fed into the NHS – you guarantee waste. If you want to shovel the maximum amount of money out of the door in the shortest possible time, it is easier to spend it on diversity and inclusion posts, for which our universities are pumping ever greater numbers of qualified graduates, than it is to spend it finding the clinical staff required to cut waiting lists."

"The only wonder is that it has taken the NHS this long to spin off into its own orbit, scorning our elected government. The warning signs have been there for decades; it is just that no government has yet been brave enough to grab the NHS by the horns and assert proper authority over it."
