Me and @GeorgeRSimms will be going live here presently if you are struggling to concentrate at work (or maybe school, I suppose, though I think it's unlikely) ahead of whatever's happening later on today...

Did Keir Starmer give land to his parents via a trust, guaranteeing their estate, of which he was beneficiary, would never pay inheritance tax on its eventual value?
Legal experts say yes.
Curiously No10 will not answer - despite having a list of straightforward questions for weeks and Starmer retaining a leading tax KC following our original approach.
@DanNeidle, @manumidolo, @venetiamenzies and I have done our detective work regardless. Read the Sunday Times and Tax Policy Associates tomorrow to find out more!

Confession. I publicly opposed @ObserverUK leaving the Guardian stable. I now think I was wrong. It’s done really well. Today I have especially enjoyed Rachel Sylvester on ECHR and @kenanmalik on violence weaponised in the culture wars. And more to come.

The Salt Path: portrayals that left a sour taste.
Locals speak of their shock at the way they have been characterised in the bestselling book.
Read more of @chloehadj's coverage of this story at our website now.

Jaw dropping reporting by @chloehadj. I can also say, having read the book while hiking last year, that the knowledge it’s seemingly based on a tissue of lies does indeed indelibly tarnish it…!
The publishers, agents and film company obviously must respond
Penniless and homeless, Raynor and Moth Winn found fame with The Salt Path: the story of their 630-mile walk to salvation. It became a global bestseller and was adapted into a major film.
But we can reveal it wasn’t the whole truth.
