It turns out that Farage was right; foreigners were coming for his job.

So it turns out they spent £715 million on sending a grand total of FOUR volunteers to Rwanda.

Whose land? Tax avoidance and the broken economics of British farming Noise in the billionaire press about inheritance tax changes hides a basic fact: the non-farming rich own too much land
