I’ve seen it pointed out the Daily Mail story doesn’t say who he’s backed in the headline and is accompanied by a photo of Arnie embracing …

Trump.

America is really screwed if they pick him. I'm expecting bloodshed if he loses because he doesn't care.
If Harris wins Juan Mirchan could do the country a favour by jailing him on 26th Nov. It won't happen though.

Hilarious seeing Sunak so animated when he realised all the tax hikes will affect him personally. The little toe rag.

There's an interesting thread on Twitter about the agricultural APR, which shows it won't impact modest farms. In 2021/22 it wouldn't have made a difference to 87% of claimants, and only 4% would get a sizeable bill.

It points out that normal IHT rules apply outside the £1m protected, so it's essentially £2m in most cases that can be inherited without tax being paid. It also points out taking out a life insurance policy to cover the extra tax burden would be very cheap for people with modest farms (and you can gift a farm when life insurance costs get high anyway).

I guess the abolition of non-dom status means Rish! will be skedaddling to Malibu sooner rather than later.

I thought Sunak's wife had given up non-dom status.

Anyway Sunak being animated about tax rises isn't surprising. The point is they tried to hem Labour in kept saying that Labour will increase taxes before the election. There's a tweet floating round from Sunak pre election that people are now quoting saying he was right. Really it's only the NI loophole that has meant Labour weren't forced to explicitly break their promise. Labour's highlighting of the black hole is an acknowledgement that their language before the election means the tax rises and cuts weren't 'expected' so it needed extraordinary circumstances to justify.

Got something to say?
