  1. Welcome to everybody else's world. Farmers that never had to save to get a mortgage and pay their houses off over 20-30 years should not be complaining. They get way more benefits than the average business and the average person that has to rent most their life with little to no chance of gaining half what most farmers inherit.

  2. Deliberate lies – deliberate evasion – deliberate obfuscation in the build up to the election all got this lot into No10.
    On that basis the country was completely deceived and the whole election should be declared null and void.

  3. Smalls business suffered financially due to covid, the businesses that just made it and borrowed to survive are crippled due to the energy prices, the tax increases etc will be a crucial decision for them to continue to struggle or go into liquidation..
    Hate this government..

  4. The tax is 20% on anything above the value of £1m of land and if a family home is on the land then the threshold goes up to £2m. of the 3100 farms for sale in the UK right now only 600 are valued above £2m. Let say they have a £3m farm of which there are only 400 for sale, they will have a tax bill of £200k that can be paid back over 10 years. Most first time buyers will be paying more than that on their first home. If you can't find £20k a year from a £3m estate then you probably aren't the best person to be in charge of such an asset. I pay £9k a year for a bedroom, not a house a bedroom. And these people are moaning 🤣
    And remember, the rest of us if we are lucky to be left anything will pay 40% on anything above £325k. So we'd pay more if we were left £800k than a farmer that was left £3m.

  5. The inheritance tax affect farmers because when handing over to their younger family they will have to find upto a £1million pounds tax. That equals the whole value of the farm, so the farmers son or daughter will be left with nothing, so no farmers. The land will be sold to corporate companies, whose aim will be profit, NOT food quality. It just shows the lack of intelligence within the "Labour" Party. So food WILL be more expensive and of a lower quality and our countryside full of food factories and housing estates.

  6. whole sale state theft by another name. this is to ensure that food production slips out of the hands of the people and into the hands of the state where it can be used as another tool of control. labour are so transparent it pathetic.

  7. This is being mi's represented… Farming was exempt…. Now it isn't… The rules as far as I'm aware are exactly they same as before.. Pass the farm on to the successor…. Live for 7 years… No tax to pay…. I don't understand the huge storm this is making… And I am a farmer.

  8. My new, young local Labour MP for Rushcliffe, James Naish, just happens to mention in his prospectus that he's from a farming family and grew up on a farm. I wonder how he can look into his family's eyes? Mind you his uncle is Alistair Campbell
