'There’s no future for us' - how Labour betrayed British farmers

[@ambalangoda6320]

Labour will be remembered for their wokeness, the political prisoners and their betrayal of the rural communities.

[@julianmeagher9020]

@@ambalangoda6320 Also the betrayal of pensioners.

If we don't have a decent, unideological, growth focused alternative to vote for the useless f****rs could be there for a decade. God help us!

A country needs to be able to sustain itself.

[@thinfourth]

As long as there is enough food for 650 MPs That is all that matters to the government

[@Floortile]

This is a spiteful attack on ‘the little guy’ - spiteful and stupid in the failure to realise that being asset rich does not give you a millionaire lifestyle; sell productive fields to pay the tax - and severely dented, or down the pan, goes the means of your livelihood. OK, some very wealthy people - not ‘real’ farmers - are using the exemption as an IHT loophole, but out the baby goes with the bathwater if the new legislation is used as a blunt instrument to cosh truly real farmers.

[@raymonddonaghy2314]

There shouldn't be any inheritance tax whats so ever

[@j4mm3d]

Labour only act in the interests of their base. The rest of us are already tired of this one way take & give.

[@JTonson]

Congratulations on a brilliant video.

[@IngeEvenwel]

God bless these poor farmers fighting for their livelihood from entitled people who gets rediculiously large salaries and are so out of touch with reality. I say down with the labour elitests

[@AngryBootneck]

That weasel Gove should be in jail, not sat gossiping on The Spectator! 🤬🤬

[@johnsmithers5044]

This needs to escalate and use any means possible to ram the message home.Make the miners strike look a picnic!

[@kualumpurzagreb3408]

Brilliant Analysis ! Spectator rises to the occasion all the time every time ! Farmers are the Backbone of ANY Country !! SUPPORT THE FARMERS OF THE UK !!! WELL DONE ! The Protest in London is a Massive Success - Global Worldwide Support from Everyone Everywhere !! 🌏👍

[@jjperera3389]

@1:55 that woman is on point, it will be corporations that will buy, be domiciled in a tax haven and pay no tax what so ever, just like most corporations that are on this land

[@realjohn4064]

Govey, the man who would have voted for Kamala and pretends he's a conservative!

[@GolfWhisky]

Wait for the inevitable "food crisis". Which like the housing "crisis", energy "crisis" and water "crisis" will be nothing of the sort. A predictable outcome of Government policy is not a "crisis". It is "intended results".

[@jackyking5779]

This has really got to most of us. It's repression of the little person by the condescending elite, Animal Farm writ large. 'Work harder, Boxer.' I have never been so angry. These farmers have created our land. Why can't politicians see that 'farmers doing their bit to help the NHS' will be temporary, fleeting. The land, however, is forever, and it will be fragmented under this vindicitve, downright stupid budget. I talked to a farmer the other day, and she was near tears. She said, 'There will be plenty of this.' Then she drew her finger across her throat. In the west country town where I live, the talk is all of this, and depression hangs over every corner and every shop and every field.

[@SFRZRD]

I can’t get enough of this, it’s absolutely hysterical. I’m loving every second. Maybe now you can see how it feels to be on the receiving end of a whole swathe of the populations’ voting choices. Let’s call this getting even for the removal of EMA, hiked tuition fees, being kicked off the property ladder, uncontrollable rent, mental health crises, young peoples services taken away but to name a few.

[@mindfulmw]

For heavens sake get Michael Gove off the screen. I am not watching content with him on the show, bad appointment.

[@user-iz9co4qf6z]

He's very good. A very wonderful way with words and brings real insight. Stop being miserable

[@tonysherwood9619]

The gangmasters have control of our farms - ie gates(Microsoft) , fink(Blackrock) etc!

[@harpothehealer]

'm not a farmer but as a kid grew up next to one. 100% I am behind the Farmers Starmer out of town of course. Starmer who instead of trying to sort Country out thinks it is more important to try get meeting with Chinese on Human Rights. Chinese simply walk off not interested. The idiot is clueless as PM and clueless as diplomat all the idiot ends up doing is creating more friction at home and abroad. You don't turn up in front of any super power and tell them what they should be doing when your a tiny little player. There are ways and that is not it . That is mentality of a total idiot.

[@DiscoDave-yt9dq]

Bring down this government We cannot survive 5 year's of disgraceful policies, not thought thro No one wants this government now 😮

[@Opel314]

Is Mr Gove going to be sharing his opinions every week now? Will be having to find my entertainment elsewhere if this is going to be the case. Sorry...

[@SFRZRD]

I mean, he is the editor of the magazine. So sadly, he’ll be a permanent fixture.

[@1526andrews]

I know, he's such a disappointment and a step down from Andrew Neil and Fraser. It's woeful

[@contemplating1015]

More focused on the issue to care. Sorry...

[@IngeEvenwel]

The UK labour government make Liz truss look like a toddler for the decisions she made in her 5 minutes of being PM

[@nathanhobson1142]

Socialists gonna socialist.

[@Crouchy232323]

I am not sure of Rachel Reeves, however, we all love Sir Keir Starmer and if he says that we should fight and die for Ukraine then we should. I am a pensioner and my two sons have important jobs so we are excluded, but it is important that those who can fight should do so immediately

[@steveschmidt5156]

You would do Swift proud.

[@Chiefmismaker]

Perhaps we can import all our food from China?

[@contemplating1015]

😂

[@joesoy9185]

A married couple with a farmhouse will enjoy a tax-free threshold of GBP 3m, after which they will pay half the standard rate of inheritance tax i.e. 20 p.c. They will have 10 years in order to to pay it. Jeremy Clarkson admitted that he bought a farm for GBP 4.2 m in order to avoid paying inheritance tax. James Dyson, the tax avoidance expat expert, bought land for an estimated GDP 200m-300m, or even more for the same reason. The proposed tax is there to fill this loophole. I have the impression that most of the farmers on the demo today don´t know the actual figures and in fact won´t have to pay any tax at all.

[@raymonddonaghy2314]

There shouldn't be any inheritance tax whats so ever I can't believe government got away with this tax for so long time to end it

[@registeredmental]

Gosh! Farmers do sound posh

[@contemplating1015]

They can sound however they like, important thing to those of us with a brain is they are left to produce food.💚✌🏻

[@Jacky5299]

It's not posh, it's the traditional British accent.

[@JohnDwyer-gw7lf]

Ive looked through all of the spectator videos and really odd - there's none on how Brexit and the Conservatives betrayed British farmers Why ?

[@claudiafallis2167]

Inheritance tax as such is indecent, taxing money that has already been taxed.

[@brianferguson7840]

If you've been farming the same farm for generations and still can't make a living. Then it's time to sell to someone who can. Don't rely on life support from people who do pay their taxes.

[@dianamincher6479]

Farmers get your land valued realistically in writing! Apply for you exemption from inheritance tax and be happy that you are so terribly and unfairly privileged!

[@fornothing312]

Those poor millionaires....

[@iffler2542]

I think you lack basic understanding of economics. I'm fairly sure that lack of understanding extends to other subjects but will await proof.

[@Jacky5299]

The millionaires who feed me.

[@TrươngÐanKhanhnh]

I don't know who came up with this video, but he's clearly a genius. And so is the cat💖
