US justice department officials plan to ask a judge to force Google to sell off its Chrome browser to dismantle the monopoly it has over the internet search market, in a major intervention against one of the world’s biggest tech companies. The Department of Justice (DoJ) last month filed court papers saying it is considering enforcing “structural remedies” to prevent Google from using some its products. Google has said it will challenge any case by the DoJ and that proposals marked an “overreach” by the government that would harm consumers. The case against Google was filed under the first Donald Trump administration and continued under Joe Biden.

Jeremy Clarkson joined farmers protesting against changes to agricultural inheritance tax in London on Tuesday, 19 November. The former Top Gear presenter and now farm owner addressed his previous comments in a 2021 interview with The Times, in which he said that avoiding inheritance tax was “the critical thing” in his decision to buy land. Heading to the Westminster demonstration, the Clarkson’s Farm star said: “The only reason I said that is because I actually bought the farm because I wanted to shoot, but you can't go around saying ‘Oh, I wanted to shoot’ because then you get shouted at by animal enthusiasts. “I jokingly said, oh, it's just inheritance tax and now of course it's come back to bite me on the arse, but it doesn't really matter because we're here to support farmers, we’re not talking about me.”

Texas Education Board Supports New Bible Curriculum Controversial plan sparks debate over religious teachings in public schoolsA contentious proposal is brewing in Texas as the state education officials take steps toward introducing Bible lessons to the curriculum for kindergarten through fifth grade. During preliminary votes, the Texas State Board of Education showed strong support, adopting new standards focused on the Bible's teachings amid rising concerns from various sectors about the balance of religious instruction in public education. Under the proposed curriculum, lessons would explore principles such as the Golden Rule found within the Bible and apply these teachings to broader educational concepts, including art appreciation and moral teachings. An educational program like this, born from legislation mandatorily urging the Texas Education Agency to craft its educational materials, caters to classical learning perspectives which some argue is necessary to restore educational standards. Such criticism aligns with broader national discussions on how religious content should be approached within public education systems.

Allerdale Disability Association (ADA) provides vital free support, advice and information on issues ranging from blue badges to benefits for disabled people, their families and carers. In the last financial year, they helped clients claim benefit entitlements of £8.4 million. They have also seen a huge increase in client numbers, with an increase of 43% from the previous year to 1,908 users. The charity faced closure due to financial challenges but has been thrown a lifeline by Sellafield Ltd, Cumbria Community Foundation and Cumberland Council, who have all agreed to provide emergency funding to keep services running for the next 12 months. “Organisations such as ADA often need more than financial support to plan for a more sustainable future.

Thousands of farmers gathered in central London on Tuesday in the biggest show of opposition to a policy announced by Britain’s center-left Labour government since it won power in July. Angry at inheritance taxation changes outlined in last month’s budget by the chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, protesters carried placards reading “No farmers no food,” while a procession of tractors drove past Parliament. While the immediate catalyst for the demonstration was the tax change, it also reflected a broader sense of grievance among some of those who live in the countryside who accuse successive governments of betraying their interests, particularly in the wake of Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union. The change under Ms. Reeves’s plan applies to people who inherit agricultural assets worth more than a million pounds, about $1.3 million. They were previously exempt from inheritance tax, but will have to pay it at 20 percent — half the standard rate — from April 2026.

Thousands of farmers from across Wales and others parts of the UK are in London today for a huge protest. They are calling on the Government to scrap its changes to agricultural inheritance tax that were announced in last month's Budget. Celebrities including Jeremy Clarkson - who told the Times in 2021 that avoiding inheritance tax was "the critical thing" in his decision to buy land - have joined the rally to address everyone. For anything above that, landowners will pay a 20% tax rate, rather than the standard 40% rate of inheritance tax (IHT) applied to other land and property. In a speech to NFU members as they come to London to lobby MPs on the issue, the organisation's president Tom Bradshaw is expected to tell them that the "betrayal" on the tax changes is extraordinary.

Television presenter Jeremy Clarkson joins the farmers in Whitehall in a protest organised by National Farmers’ Union (NFU)to urge the government to change course over inheritance tax. As even the Conservative-supporting Spectator magazine wryly put it: “It is hard to believe that concerns about inheritance tax did not enter his head when he moved into farming.”Dyson is understood to deny this. It’s because married farmers can claim their £1m inheritance tax exemption (Agricultural Property Relief) twice. And then they can claim tax relief for their residence on the farm too. Why should a billionaire be able to plough all their wealth into farmland to avoid the inheritance tax every other wealthy estate has to pay?

‘How do I come to terms with this?’ Composite: Getty Images/Guardian Design Team. However, my boyfriend is turned off by period sex, a novel situation for me. I respect his boundaries but I can’t help feeling rejected every month. How do I come to terms with this and not feel rebuffed? Everybody has likes and dislikes concerning sex and bodily functions, and it’s important to respect each other’s feelings about such things.

Factoring in about £3 million free from inheritance tax, his son James, 29, would face an inheritance tax bill of 20 per cent on £12 million if he died suddenly, which is £2.4 million. AdvertisementLabour rebuffs criticismLabour has hit back at today’s demonstration by farmers in central London over increases to inheritance tax, insisting that the hike “will not impact the majority of farmers”. Sharing a post on X titled “The truth about Labour’s budget and farmers”, the party said: “Estates worth up to £3 million could still be passed on by a couple completely free of inheritance tax.” Labour also reiterated that when inheritance tax does apply, “farmers will still pay 50 per cent less inheritance tax than everyone else”. We will reverse this cruel tax, says BadenochKemi Badenoch told farmers that the Conservatives “have your backs” and vowed to reverse the inheritance tax change for farmers. Johnson labelled the inheritance tax changes as “Labour’s demented family farm tax”.
