They need to proscribe farmers & the NFU as a terrorist organisation then they could arrest them.

People are in prison for bringing the capital to a halt about the world Climate Crisis. Meanwhile very rich farmers, some celebrities, with time and wealth to bring their tractors to London will get away with it, like last time. Shame on them. Pay their tax, don't hide it through farm land.

Oh really? Brexit and their promise to replace CAP with something far better? Fishing policy?
The IHT exemption by Thatcher govt
enticed billionaires to buy up land and raised agricultural prices hugely to the extent smaller farmers now find themselves caught by the value their assets😱

As Lizzard has another working adult living there, she could ask Freddie to contribute. However, didn’t hospitality sector get massive reductions in business rates?
Anyone know how LoLo is assessed or banded? #TheArchers

Fair point. Reference also council tax payers in Kent.

Perhaps their remuneration needs looking at also?

When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

There’s an SNP on

Whilst commentary mentions adult children living with parents in those houses, saving for deposits. ie multi earning households. I accept house prices especially London are responsible, but really 🙄

The 16yo, watching Kemi Badenoch's response to today's #Budget: can these two just have a rap battle and get it over with? 🤣

And in that limited sense reform is needed. What would it take for you or like minded people to get involved to achieve that change?

Reform is paying for the defence of those arrested. How very Elon Musk.

Understood.

There are many 🥴Always ask, noboby needs to be excluded from the unbounded joy of #TheArchers

Dopey David Archer. A name he was given by listeners years ago. #TheArchers

Red hot prophecy: Tony, Dopey, Justin and Brian will be moaning about the #budget.
Adam will be sighing and Tom will complain it’s increased pressure on him.
Eddie will be disappointed there were no subsidies for small scale agri scammers with turkeys outside.

#TheArchers

With the exception of the recent female chair, they have been underwhelming. The organisation needs a shake up, purpose and direction. Is their sat nav on the blink? 🤣

The Mail and The Telegraph have encouraged them in this myth, as they did with Brexit, and as they do with abolishing the ECHR. All detrimental bollux, and harmful to them and the Uk overall. But few seem to notice or remember. 🙄

I’m sure the NFU and similar could lobby more effectively and better than these fringe groups. They could also educate and inform a whole lot better if they thought about it.
It’s not just noise, it’s money (and retaining it ) that dictates policy as @garyseconomics.bsky.social has noted.

Ah! At last we hear something about the Covid corruption czar. Let us know when the money has been repaid to the Revenue, and not just found please. #Budget
Then some prosecutions.
Then we can really celebrate. 🥳

Aware (last Friday) of some who have sought IHT advice and are being advised (by accountants and agricultural surveyor firms) it will probably be reversed on the budget. FFS🤦‍♀️
Constantly amazed by those who can’t accept change are in farming- where they can’t control the weather and so much else

Can we hear something about this from #TheArchers? Which characters will lead the way I wonder?

Mine too. I wish there were many more who said this, and many fewer of the uninformed useful idiots (ranging across the social and financial scales) who are the soundbites at these protests. Fing fed up with it and how the misinformation spreads round livestock markets, Fatstock dinners etc.

And yet there they are again today in Westminster in breach of a ban , guzzling fuel and causing traffic delays chanting “Starmer hates Farmers” and wishing for a Tory or Reform government. Moronic.

Investigation needed (swift, independent, with consequences and not expensive) into Russia and foreign money in Reform, and leak by OBR. At least then we may know it’s not further and linked destabilisation. #Tories#Labour @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

My first day working at the O.B.R. is going well so far lads ! 👍 #budget

I noticed your profile said you’re part tenant. I’ve heard the fear from entirely tenanted farms and from 50 acre farms. I’ve also heard plenty who have refused to plan ( because it costs money for advice and they don’t trust their children/spouses of children) . These people are being manipulated.

Your asset values make you multi millionaires. Agreed, land prices are responsible, But your exemption only started in the 80s- so back to insurance, tax and succession planning. Unlike other businesses agri has half rate IHT and 10 years to pay.

Sick of hearing golf club captains, small businesses and 50 acre farmers fearing the measures aimed at billionaires. When those don’t happen, it becomes inevitable they will be hit by alternatives, but they don’t seem to realise they’re being used by those further up the asset holding chain.
