John Healey is eyeing yet another tax raid on family businesses, with experts warning it could push them “to extinction”.The Chancellor is said to be weighing up plans that could see business owners hit with income tax when passing their companies down to the next generation.Under the proposals, the existing capital gains tax would be replaced with income tax, potentially leaving some business owners facing a significantly higher bill.Currently, families can restructure their businesses using “redeemable shares”, allowing ownership to be transferred while attracting capital gains tax at a rate of up to 24 per cent.However, under the changes, such…

This year marks 100 years since Wythenshawe Hall was donated to Manchester Corporation.At the time, the city was in urgent need of more housing.In 1920 an urban planner called Patrick Abercrombie identified Wythenshawe as the only undeveloped land suitable for building a housing estate close to Manchester.To turn his proposal into a reality, Ernest and Shena Simon bought Wythenshawe Hall from Robert Henry Grenville Tatton in 1926, which they donated to the city’s corporation (now known as the council).The surrounding land became Wythenshawe Park.The idea was that people could be rehoused away from industrial Manchester into what became known as…

One of the more criticised aspects of the new, smaller format is the lack of goalkeepers, with some concerns over how that might impact their development.The 3v3 format only lasts for 12 months, so goalkeepers do return from under-8 level when the game progresses to 5v5.”When you make decisions like this, there are obvious trade-offs but we don’t believe it is going to be detrimental to the development of future goalkeepers,” Folwell added.”Obviously playing 3v3, players can’t use their hands but they are still going to be developing skills of blocking, sliding across, needing to get between the ball and…

Reform UK Councillor Matthew Caton, the Portfolio Holder for Children & Young People at Wakefield Council, told GB News that he is deeply concerned about the recent criminal allegations.He said: “Urban House has been operating in various guises since 2007 – it shut down in 2011, we believe, for health and safety and living concerns, and reopened again a few months later as asylum seeker accommodation.””The capacity of this place is three hundred or more beds, and the current occupation is between 200 and 260, so it’s a substantial facility.
