Jeremy Clarkson’s fury as farmers protest over inheritance tax raid is blocked

The Telegraph  

A mass protest by farmers against Rachel Reeves’s inheritance tax raid has been blocked, Jeremy Clarkson has claimed. The former Top Gear presenter was among hundreds of farmers who had planned to attend a major demonstration on Nov 19 against the Government’s inheritance tax raid on their land. However the National Farmers Union said that “legal issues” meant that only 1,800 of their members would be allowed to attend a lobbying event and that protesters could not “simply turn up in numbers in Westminster in the streets or the open spaces”. It has led to warnings that the “tractor tax” will threaten food security and irreparably damage Britain’s farming industry.

The real threat to British farmers… and it isn’t the ‘tractor tax’

The Independent  

I am dismayed by the protesting farmers’ sense of entitlement and pleading for special treatment. The London protest against the “tractor tax” is one funded by obscenely wealthy people who don’t want to pay any tax at all. Even after Labour’s changes, the tax due on a £3m house inherited from your parents would be £800,000, whereas tax on a …

Rachel Reeves’s flawed inheritance tax for farmers demands a rethink

The Independent  

After revealing £40bn of tax rises on business and the better-off in last month’s Budget, Rachel Reeves could – just about – argue that “working people” had not been directly affected.
