Boris Johnson promised farmers that “subsidies would stay - 100% guaranteed”.
🚜 The National Farmers’ Union council was overwhelmingly in support of “Remain”, but decided not to campaign outright, as it would upset some of their larger farmers who were cheering Brexit.

What happened to those post-Brexit farm subsidies?
We need a discussion about UK food and farming, our resilience to external and self-inflicted events, and where the money is going

Wow. Imagine the shock for the Daily Mail when it finds out Tory plans were for fines of £5k - later reduced to £3k - for each missed heat pump sale. What Ed Miliband has done is to reduce that to £500. As @torstenbell.bsky.social says today Headline should read “Miliband slashes Tory boiler tax”

Absolutely spot on, down to earth, no nonsense, Labour does need more like him.
John Prescott was a politician both behind and ahead of his time. Considered too bluff and old Labour to reach to the very top in the 90s, today his authenticity and class credentials would have been perfect to fight Farage and populism. Labour needs more like him.

Important context here:
● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares)
● "a big farm" is 217 acres.
Now let's see who's angry:
● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres
● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres
● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres
● Dyson owns 36,000 acres
● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares)
● "a big farm" is 217 acres.
Now let's see who's angry:
● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres

● Dyson owns 36,000 acres
A message from a REAL farmer who hasn’t been brainwashed by the Tories, wealthy landowners and the right wing media👇🏽

So now the multimillionaire Jeremy Clarkson is out in London alongside the multimillionaire Farage, one of the multimillionaire Johnson siblings along with many other multimillionaires to try and convince us they shouldn’t have to pay a tax that many people with far far less than them have to pay.

Please spare a thought for James Dyson, the Brexit-voting billionaire who bought up 33,000 acres of farmland to avoid tax then moved his business to Singapore. He's the real victim here.

Can someone explain to me why farmers should be exempt from IHT when the rest of us have to pay ?
