@bengoldacre Given that this policy aims to stop tax dodgers buying farmland, why not offer: "If your land has been farmed by your family for over 25 years, you can be exempted from inheritance tax for as long as the land is used as your farm - but you'll pay tax if you sell or develop"?

@moogyboobles @LegalGengar What was the FOI question, Tracy? (Whatever the question, I'm not surprised that there wasn't a quick answer.)

@chrismccausland @RoyLilley Fantastic achievement! There’s nothing left to say that’s original - so I’ll settle for: “Well done you and well done Dianne!!!”

@Evoclique_ There was an old Bishop of York Who certainly could talk the talk But when he found Vicars Getting into girls’ knickers He never could quite walk the walk

@taylorswift13 @KensingtonRoyal To avoid a calamitous Trump presidency, Biden must hand over to a younger candidate - one who is already instantly recognisable & immensely popular - who politicians and royalty worldwide will fawn over. I suggest Taylor Swift. Retweet!

@Scotland @Lenniesaurus The 'Scots words' are all terrific - you're an excellent teacher & you lighten our days! Like everyone in the public eye you'll get mindless criticism - which can be enervating - but don't let the bastards grind you down. Rise above it. Your fans far outnumber the trolls!!!

@txsportsdoc When I started life as a GP I saw letters in the notes from the local hospital. They stated that it was run by "Matron and Hospital Superintendent". I suspect these were people who earned respect because, in a crisis, they could roll their sleeves up and make themselved useful.

@joeflanagan1 @RoyLilley And 'Senior Service'

@s8mb Harvard Health Publishing/Harvard Medical School gives a pretty good answer:

@caitlinmoran Since ’Spare’ was published there have been calls for Harry to be stripped of his title. If his detractors get their way, what will he be called from now on? One suggestion was: ‘The Piss Artist formerly known as Prince.’

We’re being told to save water. Way back, when Radio 4 presenters adored Ken Livingstone, he said on air: “If it’s yellow let it mellow” (i.e. don’t flush the loo every time you have a pee as this wastes gallons of water.) It’s probably a good time to remember this advice.

@caitlinmoran As a rule I invariably agree with CM but ... Vasectomy reversal is not usually available on the NHS, and private health insurance companies don’t usually fund it either. Many clinics in the UK charge around £3,000 or more.

@sarahinroyal Very sad - but she did amazingly well to raise awareness of a disease that we ignore at our peril - and, in so doing, has done an enormous amount of good. Sadly we are seeing more bowel cancer in the young - and again, she has shone a light on this. A short but beautiful life!

@w_weinstein @AlienObserved @BBC "What a dream of a volley!" (And let's bring back Max Robertson on Radio while we're at it!)

@JonMorter Including Afganistan!

@adilray @BAFTA Yes ... great scripts, great acting, great everything! If an 'out of touch' old git like me thought it was terrific, how come the people who are supposed to have their finger on the pulse didn't appreciate it?

@IsabelHardman The NHS failing mothers is nothing new - and failing to get managers to listen isn't new either. In the town where I practiced for 40 years, when ANC became dangerously poor I could only get their attention by videoing my patients telling of their experiences by way of a threat.
