If farmers were as heartless as junior doctors, they’d go on strike and use their leverage to starve Starmer into submission.
Would anyone really blame farmers if they do actually spray a load of manure all over the Treasury?
Rachel Reeves tried to justify the farm grab. She said: “From April 2026, the first £1million of combined business and agricultural assets will continue to attract no inheritance tax at all.
“But for assets over £1million, inheritance tax will apply with a 50 per cent relief at an effective rate of 20 per cent. This will ensure that we continue to protect small family farms.”

According to Labour, farmers must not be working people because their taxes have definitely gone up.
The irony is this Budget was delivered by a Chancellor who seemingly lied on her CV by pretending to be an economist when she actually worked in the complaint departments at Halifax Bank of Scotland.
A Business Secretary who has never had a job, Foreign Secretary who’ll soon be out of a job, and a minister for the Environment and Rural Affairs who disappeared off to Colombia to talk about climate change instead of meeting with the National Farmers Union.
Is it any wonder that Labour hates anyone who’s been able to accumulate land, wealth and assets? Are they just jealous that they’re not good enough to do that themselves?
Politics used to be considered show business for ugly people, but now it’s a salary for people who would be sacked if they worked in the private sector.

The beautiful patchwork quilt of rural land that you see when you fly over Britain is looked after primarily by hard-working, white British nuclear families.
And let’s be honest, under Labour, they’re at the back of the queue, aren’t they?
If there are any other policies that disproportionately affected this many people of a specific ethnic background, the same Labour MPs who were cheering this on now will be crying racism.
And they’re being hammered, so we can subsidise the lives of people who can’t get off their backsides.
The total cost of sickness benefits is now going to be £100billion a year.
The message from Labour is clear, isn’t it? If you’re a hard-working British farmer, they hate you. If you’re an illegal immigrant or someone on the dole, they love you.
