GB News: Treasury snub sparks farmer RAGE as details of next protest emerge - but there’s a huge twist
Farmers are planning a protest after the Treasury dismissed their concerns over proposed inheritance tax reforms that could impose a 20% tax on assets over £1 million upon death. Rural groups argue this policy threatens food security and could force many farmers to sell their land.
The upcoming "Pancake Day Rally" on March 4 aims to highlight the investment required in agriculture. Farmers are advocating for a clawback mechanism to mitigate the negative impacts of the proposed tax, but the Treasury has shown little willingness to engage.

The White House's approach has been characterized as a rushed dispersal of funds to various organizations, including those tied to Abrams, amid fears of losing unspent money if political power shifted. This situation raises questions about the integrity of the funding process and the potential misuse of taxpayer dollars.

Fox News: 'Dessert stomach' lives in your brain, say scientists
Recent research from the Max Planck Institute reveals that the desire for sweets persists even after meals due to specific neurons in the brain. These POMC neurons, which signal satiety, also drive the appetite for sugary foods, as shown in experiments with both mice and humans.
This discovery may have implications for obesity treatments, as it suggests that drugs targeting this brain region could potentially reduce sugar cravings. Further investigation is needed to understand how existing obesity medications interact with this mechanism.
