@aSamEvans@HefinR Encouraging more kids to go to private school, will have a bigger impact. Same spend, more per child, smaller classes. Shame common sense isn’t a thing!
@cattlefinishers Someone been to the new M&S in selby! Went past yesterday, it was full, the new Iceland next door empty! Turns out British public want high quality British food, not imported crap! Shame this shambles of a gov doesn’t think the same!
@IanStockport@DanNeidle Risk at present is next gen get handed farm over earlier and have to keep it going for older gen, when perhaps they don’t want to farm.
@Georgethefarmer@Ruralpay@NaturalEngland@JanetHughes Land agent brother said SFI apps were taking a week, now taking 3-4months. Budget will be underspent and gov will take surplus back. Budget cuts through incompetence
@DanNeidle It’s amazing what could be achieved with the consultation! What’s more worry is they don’t consult, and the masses of others things they cock up as a result!
@RobertHodgkins1@ShepherdWales Every business set up is different, costs vary massively as every farm’s financial circumstances are different. New IHT is ‘another’ cost to your business that is unexpected, it’s to simple to just label it as a ‘rent equivalent’
@RobertHodgkins1@ShepherdWales Land around us is £16k, that’s bare land. Neighbours yard just sold for 700k. Out 600 plus yard would be £10m. Parents own separate house. Works out at £266/acre. Paid out after corporation tax, so add another 60, is £320/acre.
