The quote is brilliantly correct. Well put by Victoria. The script written is so poor. It does not seem as if the people who wrote it have given it the slightest regard. It's an embarrassing essay. @CLAtweets
The government's impact analysis on capping inheritance tax reliefs for farmers and rural businesses claims it will not have any "significant macroeconomic impacts". We know this isn't true - it is is already inflicting damage on the economy and will cost the government more…
This policy is not even in yet but it’s helping the nhs already 🧐 You do know every suicide cost the economy of 1.7m We need to stop this We do need farming to be profitable but it never will be when it’s un investable #saveourfamilyfarms #soff
'This government is supporting farmers with more investment' 'You broke a pledge to them!' Katherine Forster asks Steve Reed about what the NFU has called farmers' 'torment with worry' due to government policy.
National insurance and tax hikes last autumn have made employment too expensive. Self service tills don't pay tax, nor need paid holidays.
I think I’m going to give Sainsbury’s a miss from now on as only 1 till open, the rest were self serve which I refuse to use. Anyone else fed up with this?
One for you Kim. @moogfood @wrurestore instagram.com/reel/DMXwljwI-…

It seems that some might believe the pressure on family farms has gone away. They are mistaken. @agricontract @wheat_daddy @TWBFarms fwi.co.uk/news/farm-poli…
“Guy I know has a farm he’s loaded let’s tax farmers “ said James Mee 🤦♂️ Been proud of winning a award that has killed britains food security is a little odd I’d be proud more of been on tv program with @edsheeran and graham norton #TaxTheCastleOnTheHill

James Mee of @HMRCgovuk has won an award for his work on the family business inheritance tax disaster. Might be well worth giving him some feedback, you could well be the first private sector business owners he’s ever spoken too… linkedin.com/posts/james-me…
Treasury goblin celebrates his 'win'; a policy that is driving farming families into penury and even suicide. Telling that HMRC views this as a real victory; as we know they advised several Chancellors to screw over family farms, only Reeves was cruel and stupid enough to say yes

The Country Land and Business Association tells Guido: "We congratulate James on his award. To celebrate, I would like to invite him to visit one of the 70,000 farm businesses expected to be permanently damaged by this policy. Once there, I would be happy to introduce him to…

Wow. Just weeks after his emotional final performance, Ozzy Osbourne dies. If you can, go watch that show. What a goodbye.
Would Govt. prefer us to sell the workshop, yard, offices, stock or staff room to pay the ludicrous BPR IHT if my mum dies? 45 years of unimaginable graft, risk, sacrifice (& paying taxes) - but then shafted simply because we run a good family business & provide good stable jobs.
'We can grow food here!' Farmer Martin Williams expresses his fury at a government report concluding foreign food will be imported amidst farm closures.
The Treasury’s family farm tax legislation, which is accompanied by an impact assessment, suggests there will be “no significant macroeconomic impacts” at all. But a report says the reforms will cause over 200,000 job losses and cost nearly £2bn by 2030. express.co.uk/news/politics/…
A generational industry thrown under a bus. Exporting environmental conscience across the world. Ignoring local knowledge, and uk ag ability to provide growth. Taxing to take control of lives by handing the money back in benefits. Terrible to watch.
❌ Newly released Treasury papers have dismissed the suggestion that introducing inheritance tax on agricultural assets from April 2026 will have a damaging impact on national food security. READ MORE: ow.ly/SupB50Wtbnm
Slightly disingenuous to suggest that the NHS have managed to cut waiting lists on the back of a tax change that has not yet been implemented. A dreadful, misjudged, vindictive tax change leaving thousands unable to adjust, and them exposed to awful mental torture. @FT

How does this work out @jamesmurray_ldn ? Who is advising you?
Let’s not forget that most of what we’re now borrowing is spent on meeting the cost of previous borrowing. The OBR reckons we’ll borrow £143 billion this financial year 2025/26 (it will be more than that). It also estimates we’ll spend £111 billion paying interest on existing…
A group of farmers and business owners are seeking a judicial review of the government’s contentious inheritance tax raid, arguing there should have been a public consultation before the policy was confirmed. If you have been affected by the changes to APR / BPR we would…
