7:00 Labour CHOOSE to spend money abroad and on new arrivals who cause the pressure upon housing and services. To take that from the farmer is gross. Put us first.
@audreyhall6470 Farmers in Europe are protesting against climate change regulations and lower subsidies. Their profits are down because of climate change and the right leaning MPs and EU MPs they elect that favour less subsidies. Farmers are once again, acting against their interests.
@@audreyhall6470Farmers everywhere in Europe have a very tough life for very little money. They do it because they love it and are brought up from the cradle to think that is the only life for them. But it is an extremely tough life and the rewards very modest. Those who are like Clarkson are few and far between. Most of them have been in farming for generations. They do if for the love of the land knowing that they will not become rich doing this job. Their income is very unpredictable because they depend on so many things outside their control. Like the weather or the world market, wars or any number of unforeseen circumstances beyond their control.
"Council tax will not go up the people will not pay a penny more" said Keir Rodney Starmer. "We will have clarity , transparency and honesty and not raise taxes" said Keir Rodney Starmer.What a 💩🏠
I never see farmers driving around in limos or living in mansions. Most appear to be hard working people, who get up early 7 days a week to make sure we get our milk, meat, eggs etc on time. There millions is tied up in the farms and not in their pockets. They don't receive free clothes, concert tickets or free boxes at football stadiums. So who brings more to our lives. Starmer the donations and pension grabber or the people who care for us? It's a no brainer.
@@ihavenomouthandimusttype9729 Clarkson makes no secret of the fact that he relies on massive external income streams. However, he knows first hand how much income farmers make and the affordability to pay this tax by the next generation of professional farmers. That they will need to sell a significant proportion of assets in order to pay it, making the business totally unviable even if payments are split over ten years. The younger farmer will be working for ten years for the taxman and their bank… what for? That’s no life and most will choose to sell up and the buyers will most likely be finance brokers who will not grow food and have no workers, but will use the land to offset airport and cement works carbon emissions, something the working food producing farmer is not allowed to do.
This is an informative interview with an elected official knowledgeable about her farming community. It seems that this government is using the argument that farmers should help support public services. Why not suggest that members of public sector unions forgo their pay raises to protect our farmers? Well done, Victoria! Additionally an excellent interview with a rep from the farming communty.
from reading the comments it would appear most farmers voted conservative in the last election. If farmers are never going to vote labour then Starmer has little motivation to please them. Not saying Starmer is right. Thats just the way politicians think.
If I was a labour mp I would seriously consider jumping ship. Before my constituency stopped serving me in shops, maintaining my property and booed me out of my local.
@@robmc3338It’s not cash, it’s a tied up so the farm can continue. It is actually part of their tools needed to function and keep heads above the parapet!
Yes, the farmers are killing everything. My local river, The Teifi, has been reduced to a shadow of its former self by farmers spreading slurry, often illegally.
Lol no. This IHT tax change is intended to drive the billionaires off the land so farming families can own land again and now have to rent it of a billionaire...
Bill Gates. Already owns quarter million acres across 19 states of America. Owns four properties in Australia, trading as Wilmot Cattle Company. Website worth a read - genuine snake oil.
I had not thought of farmers renting so thank you for that. Naturally the landlord will hsvd to sell off farms to pay the tax. This is an even more horrifying fact.
The NHS looses £5 billion a year. If they got a grip on loses and theft they would need less of the £22.5 billion Labour are giving them to squander even more.
209,000 farmers across England, Scotland and wales. Their fiscal information is wrong. Kier Starmer, farmer harmed. What a W anchor. Labou incompetence . 😮😮😮😮😮😮
Yaeh, but tenant farmers don't count. It's not their land, is it? That land is valuable to me, its OWNER, and I have every right to do what i want with my own property. My tenants can **** off.
Yeah but it’s not Defras own figures show this. Also as the tax has to be paid we can only see the rising price of food, which ironically the NHS has to buy.
Put your assets into a trust fund like the extremely wealthy do and avoid paying the tax just like these corrupt politicians do. The UK is doomed because the people are too weak to fight back.
Just watched a film clip in parliament where by a Reform MP quoted the Home Office figures of the cost for hotel accommodation for illegal immigrants is £3b, and that the inheritance tax on farmers would raise just over £500m. Just shows where this government priorities lie
A simple way to fix this would be as long as young farmers who inherit just continue to work on the farm they don't pay the tax if people try to inherit and then sell the farm for profit make them pay inheritance tax
Looks like it, can only see this pushing food prices up, which disproportionately impacts the pensioners, those with low income as the percentage of income they must spend on food increases. An unbelievably dumb policy.
Starmer might have known if he gave train drivers that earn £50K a year a big pay rise then told OAPs they could not have their winter fuel allowance & farmers would have to pay more inheritance tax to pay for the NHS it would all kick off.
Such a short sighted policy, apart from why should the farmers pay for the incompetence of the NHS, there is also the question that very swiftly, there will be no farms left valued over 1M. so essentially ruining lives for a one off payment.
Farmers aren't paying for the NHS. They are paying for Brexit. Which they voted for. And the tax dodging rich like Clarkson and the Tories. Who they also voted for, for 14 years.

I hate the lack of revolutionary spirit in this country like there exists in America. We just complain, we never actually follow through with our threats. I hope the farmers stop us all eating to punish us for voting for the evil two party state.
its actually a good idea. Farming is one of the biggest polluters in the world both being emissions and effluent. Methane is worse than C02 and to be fair beef is an inferior meat when compared to venison.
if it only affects 500 farms, as Labour insist.....THEN WHY BOTHER ? Just how much money does Starmer think these 500 farms will generate ? ALSO......farms will not only have the trauma of losing a family member......THEY MAY ALSO LOSE THEIR FAMILY HOME !!!! Sick an heartless Starmer.
Farming is capital intensive so the government is threatening the business at its very core and making us less able to stand on our own feet. We must grow at least some of our food ourselves. At age 87 I'm old enough to remember that 'Dig for victory' slogan of WW2. The farmers did us proud then and they had to mothball their tractors. They ploughed, harrowed and reaped with horses because motor fuel was strictly rationed. The land is precious and so is the labour of farmers, including that of small farm owners and tenant ones. They need support.
... just came to my mind... what about them who cultivating crickets... and the larvae of flies ... ( and about millions pumped in this "novel food's " industry ) ... are they'll be accounted as " novel farmers " ... so they don't need "old style farmers" anymore... couldn't it be any strings connected... just curious ...
Why would damaging business's ability to flurish and prosper while scooping up there assets in the process be the most economicly viable approach? Seems as if theres another agender than saving a few quid at the detrement of countless lives, the same thing is happening all over the west.
Why not put each farm into a family corporation, which doesn't die. The leadership of the corporation can change without involvement of inheritance tax.
Biggest harm was self inflicted by voting for Brexit. But farmers won’t say a word, that they have been wrong, that they struggle now. So anything that, even silly inheritance tax on millionaires will trigger outrage. But it has little to do with that, and everything how hard it is now. No unicorns, no sunlit uplands. But sheesh quiet.
When did the farmers care about people in industry being made redundant, people on zero hours contracts and working in the care sector on low pay. They expect us to make up for the tax shortfall when they voted for Brexit.
Not many teachers/scientists working for less than the minimum wage ? I’ve worked a small family, livestock farm for 45 yrs. The potential IT bill would be more than I’ve drawn as a wage for the last 20yrs !
The farmers voted for Brexit and overwhelmingly support the Tories. This is political / ideological for Starmer and is payback. City centric Labour MPs don't have a clue about the countryside.
Something farmers need to do is get the deeds changed, and have their siblings put on, because after seven years there’s nothing can be done it can’t, they are part of there family farm.

Why should farmers be protected from the rules everyone else has to live by. People have starved to dwsth in rhis country, so obviously the system isn't working for them.
Farmers need to increase the cost of their food. If they do so, everyone in the country will come to share their sentiment to get food costs to come down.
that jpournalist with the mike always writes pieces that are spot on..............stand tall,firm and strong - starmer is already rattledas he nows reckons his first job was on a farm as he belatedly tries yo garner sympathy with another load of bullshit (he got the idea working on a farm!)./.........
At last someone who has highlighted the potentially serious issue for tenant farmers who will lose their homes and land even though they have very little capital invested in the land.
I wonder if Starmer thought it was cold when he flew back into the UK and wonder if he gave the slightest thought for those desperately cold Pensioners, who's WFA he took away. Try turning your heating of Mr Starmer and see if you feel cold and have the heating in Parliament during Questions Time, to see how many of you complain how cold it is.
Rolling out the conservatives to comment makes me laugh. 14 years of their rule where they could have made a really big difference but just sat on their hands on so many issues. Then our political system allowed Labour to get in. We need Reform these parties have proved how useless they are.
