I have recorded my UK Column event speech into a podcast and it's on my Substack.

I don't like doing podcasts but apparently people enjoy them more than reading. I can't stand the sound of my voice but I'm stuck with it.

I will only be doing one or two podcasts a month though and future ones will be about legal cases relevant to people, or law related stuff that people either need to be aware of, or that is useful.

The podcasts are for paid subscribers only

The Substack is here

Treasury offers £84k for a COVID Corruption Commissioner—a one-year role, three days a week, for an £84k salary. Will they recover the £billions wasted by politicians, or is the target someone who ‘overindulged’ during Eat Out to Help Out? Watch today’s full Extra here: UK Column News Extra – 30th October 2024

Mike: "... due to the sloppy work of the Russian operatives."

Vanessa: "What does that even mean?"

Charles: "They might have left a ladder leaning at a silly angle."

Something I talked about at the UK Column event was juryless trials and why they are against fundamental rights. For once a bit of good news - the temporary reprieve on juryless trials in Scotland has become permanent. There will be no juryless trials! For now at least

If you're buying a home, you must have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), or face fines.

The future of your home’s value could hang in the balance.

Avid UK Column Viewers will be unsurprised to learn that DEMOS (linked to common purpose, linked to the Cabinet Office) have had their sticky fingers all over the reform of Inheritance tax legislation in the UK. Full on communism in their promoted reforms including the removal of the free uplift for capital gains tax (so you would in fact get taxed twice under this proposal). And look what we find on page 11 of their proposal document:

"It is important to note that, in order to protect the revenue gain from the recommended inheritance tax reforms, the government may need to introduce additional reforms that limit the remaining opportunities for the wealthy to reduce their tax bills. The additional taxation placed on businesses and high value estates may lead to an increase in migration, lifetime giving, and use of remaining tax reliefs among wealthy individuals. This could reduce the revenue gain. The evidence is currently unclear on the extent to which these behavioural responses would occur and the impact on the revenue gain. Yet, if the government deems this to be a significant risk they should consider additional reforms, including:

- Taxing lifetime gifts: applying tax to lifetime gifts above, for example, an annual or lifetime allowance.
- Restricting agricultural relief: capping tax relief for farmland and buildings in the same way that is recommended for tax relief for business assets.
- Taxing pensions: bringing pensions into the scope of inheritance tax.

Now you know who really wrote some of the budget
