The “completely unfair” change to inheritance tax for farms has left farmers across the UK worried for their future, the head of the National Farmers’ Union has said.
NFU president Tom Bradshaw said he had never seen “the weight of support, the strength of feeling and anger” over the plans to impose inheritance tax on farms worth more than £1 million, and added that many farmers wanted to be “militant” over the issue.
Save British Farmers founder Liz Webster joins Talk’s Julia Hartley-Brewer to discuss this further.

And the ‘Conspiracy Theorists’ talked of a ‘Land Grab’.
Its disgusting what they are doing to farmers !! 😕 After Labours attack on pensioners !
Farmers have one of the highest rates of suicide. This is only going to sky rocket again like it did after Foot & Mouth. Again, total mismanagement by labour.
Farmers need respect from Labour…
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.
Stooges doing the wef bidding simple.
Eat ze bugs 🐛
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.
Labour needs to Back British 🇬🇧 Farmers 🚜
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..
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.
They just don’t think things through do they.
God help and preserve us from idiots who have ‘good ideas’.
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.
Brexit mess
Brexit disastrr
Uk is not united anymore
Brexit will destroy uk economy
She talks over every guest who talks on here
It’s obvious how this is being setup for land grab
all a ploy to sell to the Chinese, or who will stop them buying the land, and therefore the country.
The WEF want rid of farming and labour will deliver
It's the plan of the WEF , same in Canada , Holland , France , Germany etc etc
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.
No sympathy from most of the UK population, non story move on
This was Remoaner wanted Labour to get us to rejoin, suddenly changes her mind?
It's an indefensible attack on the private ownership of farms designed to transfer agriculture to global conglomerates within a generation. WEF traitors.
This lady may be well meaning but is struggling to get the message across in a meaningful manner
Kier Starmer Farmer Harmer.
Labour know exactly what they are doing they are puppets for the globalists
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.
We all need food simple
No farmers, no food…..pretty simple really!………..either that, or we import everything at enormous cost. This government is going to be a complete disaster for this country!
The WEF are controlling starmer and will reward politicians that follow their orders.
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
