You shouldn't be able to make noise complaints about noises that are older than you.
One of the best pubs in London struggling for survival because planning is stacked in favour of some powerful NIMBYs. Everything that’s wrong with Britain.

The tenant farmers who wish to own their own land some day currently compete with the ultra-rich who buy farmland because of the inheritance tax break.
So some of these are (quietly) hopeful the reform might benefit them – working farmers – over landowners. Opposition is not as united as it looks.

A rural Labour MP tells me they think the party can weather the storm from farmers over inheritance tax.
There are a huge number of tenant farmers who are disengaged from it - they don't have huge assets. And of course only a few hundred estates over all will be affected
