This is stunning in how brazen it is. I cannot believe he is trying to suggest that adjusting the amendments to APR and BPR to remove some of the inhumanity of the proposal and promote growth, investment and productivity in family businesses would mean that waiting lists would

I am confused. Starmer is taking £500 million from UK farmers in IHT and giving £500 million to farmers abroad. How exactly does that help NHS waiting lists?

The inheritance tax on farmers will raise 22 and a half hours of NHS spending. This is apparently enough to bring waiting lists down, bring mortgages down, and make the economy work for everyone.

A 3 min tour de force by Graham Stuart MP on the family farms tax⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Labour MP’s idiotic intervention shows they don’t get it. ❌ Conservatives will reverse APR and BPR when back in govt. These taxes on family businesses harm the very people who create Britain’s wealth.

HEAT PUMPS - Westminster has ‘paused’ its £1 BILLION heat pump upgrade because of concerns about the noice and efficiency. They have 3 installed & SHOCK… they are inefficient & power hungry, making them very expensive. The rest of you still have to get one though obvs 🤡

Ma'a Nonu made his All Blacks debut in 2003 against an England side featuring Kyran Bracken. Come April, 22 years later, when Toulon host Saracens he could face Bracken's sons Jack and Charlie, neither of whom were born when Nonu won his first cap. Utterly bonkers. A marvel.

Drax — the energy company that cuts down trees in North America, ships the wood as pellets for its power station in the UK and calls that Green!! — banked more than £800 million of subsidies from UK energy billpayers last year, helping to propel the power company that is

Another huge blow for U.K. agriculture. Defra UK open your eyes! By killing UK farms you are killing yourselves and the very land you live on.

1/2 Just thought i’d share this letter we received literally yesterday from Daniel Zeichner MP thanking us for everything we have done to shape the new sfi and reassuring us that the government is investing in the industry

As if Labour could possibly get any worse, here's a list of the changes they have made that directly affect farmers. (Note if you like to eat food you best enjoy it this week as it's about to get extremely expensive)

And this folks is why our country is about on its knees. Natalie, sat on a train presumably commuting to London to lobby gov knows more about growing food than the farmer, preparing a tilth for planting a crop she may eat from the subsidised menu in the House of commons.

UK Inflation UNEXPECTEDLY goes up again. Imagine being an economist who “did not expect this”. Huge employer tax increases, minimum wage up 7%, business rates jump, companies collapsing reducing supply. But as per usual nobody could have seen it coming. Where did this

It’s a testament to both the incompetency & petty authoritarianism of HM Courts and Tribunals Service that they destroyed one of the most valuable artworks they own, but they did it so badly that you can still see the shadow of the work, which conveys its message perhaps even more powerfully than

The Uk food inflation is currently running at 5.1% with predictions of it reaching nearly 6% by the end of the year. That’s double what general inflation is. This is being blamed on farmers having a difficult year, due to the dry weather conditions, lower yields etc, as

What a profound little paragraph ...... "You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the
