Fine work. Always interesting and informative but in bite size chucks that are manageable in an email. Look forward to reading these emails. Much appreciated.
The question of Trust Funds always intrigued me. Churchill used them so that the revenues from his books was not taxed in the year in which they accrued. The vast majority of us have PAYE imposed before we even see our income. As for Community Charge the whole idea has been reversed with Buckingham Palace paying less than I do in North Norfolk. It should be revised so that places with high value housing pay more than places with low value housing. Even Blair with a 160 majority could not face the consequences of a total review. Rachel Reeves should tax the increased value of Trust Funds if she is not already doing so. What possessed her in imposing Inheritance Tax on assets of Non Doms when most of their assets will be overseas is beyond me. Fairness should be the first concern of taxation.
Tariq Ali's tendentious piece doesn't really answer the question of the elephant in the room, (unless he did so after I stopped reading) what is Iranian enrichment programme for, if not weapons production?

Thanks Patrick, much appreciated, that’s exactly the aim.
It's headlines like the one about the mongoose that cheer me up, when the main news of the day is as worrying as of late!
