Let me get this straight: Jeremy Clarkson bought land to avoid paying inheritance tax on his millions. Nigel Farage & Boris Johnson promised Brexit would save farmers & fishers, but it ruined them. And now they're all claiming to represent the interests of struggling farmers?

so on the #farmersprotest it turns out that: -the vast majority of farms are unaffected -the few that are, can avoid IHT with 7 year rule -the real villains are Clarkson & Dyson who invest in farmland to dodge taxes -…and Farage because of Brexit So that’s that then 🚜

If you support the #FarmersProtest and don’t realise that any problems farmers have are caused by - rich investors like Jeremy Clarkson buying up farmland to dodge tax - politicians like Nigel Farage pushing for a hard Brexit … then you are sadly very, very stupid 🚜

So, I've just spent a bit of time looking into the debate on IHT and farming. I... got a shock. First, a note: I have a friend who runs a family farm. In his view, the whole thing is a something and nothing. 🧵

How big a problem is this? Well, almost half of all farms have less than 20 hectares of land. Incredibly, though, the average UK farm is 82 hectares - a staggeringly high sum that indicates how much land is owned by a minority. /6

To give a sense of comparison? Jeremy Clarkson purchased a whopping 400 hectares (20 times the average farm size) back in 2008. So whatever you do, don't think he's the average farmer; he really isn't. /7

In the last year alone, 400,000 hectares of agricultural land have been taken out of use for farming, as the wealthiest purchase land. Doing so allows them to avoid IHT. /9

Ten landowners - just ten! - own one sixth of Dorset. They include Jonathan Harmsworth... whose family own the Daily Mail. Are alarm bells beginning to ring over the way this debate's being framed? /14

Labour rejection of the Rejoin Petition talks about ‘turning the page’ on Brexit—but they’re writing the same old story. Young people deserve freedom of movement, not Brexit’s dead-end isolation. Your future matters. Fight for it. Follow #RejoinEU 🇪🇺✊

Nigel Farage was pushed into public prominence by dozens of appearances on Russia Today, which would not have been granted had the Kremlin not had a use for Farage. With Farage Brexit would not have happened. Brexit was the result of a successful Russian influence operation.

If Clarkson and Dyson didn't own vast amounts of land that they bought to avoid inheritance tax, do you really think they would give a fuck about farmers?

What did the 1945 Labour government do after the Second World War with the biggest debt imaginable? They introduced the welfare state the NHS and a massive housebuilding program. Democratic Socialism the fastest way to grow an economy in British History #pmqs
