Read our privacy policy Kemi Badenoch has been to Jeremy Clarkson’s pub to talk to furious farmers about Sir Keir Starmer’s so-called tractor tax. The visit came as Sir Keir insisted there would be no U-turn on farmers’ inheritance tax changes, announced by Rachel Reeves in October. The PM said he was not specifically targeting either family farms or wealthy landowners using agricultural land as a way of dodging tax, insisting it was not "aimed at a particular group of individuals". Shadow environment secretary Victoria Atkins said on Thursday that farmer suicides are the “human cost” of Labour’s tax changes.
