Labour peer says Keir Starmer's inheritance tax raid on family farms 'smells of incompetence' and is hammering the party's rural support as ministers brace for London protest

Daily Mail  

Keir Starmer's inheritance tax raid on farmers 'smells of incompetence' and is hammering the party's support in rural areas, a Labour peer has warned. Speaking to reporters on the way to the G20 summit in Brazil, Sir Keir said 'it is very important that we support farmers' but added: 'Obviously, there's an issue around inheritance tax and I do understand the concern.' Farmers have reacted with anger and dismay over the inheritance tax changes for farming businesses, which limit the 100 per cent relief for farms to only the first £1million of combined agricultural and business property. Speaking to reporters on the way to the G20 summit in Brazil, Sir Keir said 'it is very important that we support farmers' but added: 'Obviously, there's an issue around inheritance tax and I do understand the concern.
