EMR’s new Tapas Snack Box is not bad, not bad at all. Actually it’s rather good. Although I do somewhat question if it has indeed been ‘thoughtfully curated’. Curated! Really?

Andy Burnham will send “mansion tax police” to homes to decide whether the owners should pay thousands of pounds more under the new levy, The Telegraph can disclose.
