Deeply worrying.

@SPEnergyNetwork I have had no electricity now for over 48 hours. I just spent 1 hour and 20 minutes on hold on your 105 line, trying to get information on allowances for emergency accommodation, food, etc, to no avail. This is woefully inadequate service.

This is a cop out. They should just pay farmers a fair price for their produce.

This seems like an eminently sensible suggestion for modifying the proposed #FamilyFarmTax. Not sure how much tax revenue it would raise, but it would help close the loophole used by wealthy individuals to avoid #iht. What do you think, @nfu?

Interesting long-term study showing changes in genetic makeup of barley crosses grown under conventional and organic management.

We could really do with something like this in the UK, there are a lot of toxic exchanges going on at the moment.

[Clare Hepworth OBE @Hepworthclare]

This is what I think, I may be wrong.
1984 Thather introduced a mechanism providing a loophole for wealthy farmers/landowners to avoid inheritance tax.
This led to other wealthy individuals such as Dyson & Clarkson spending millions on buying up land.
Govt is trying to fix it .

[Guy Shrubsole @guyshrubsole]

Jeremy Clarkson, James Dyson, the Earl of Derby – they’re up in arms about paying tax on the vast areas of land they own.

Small farmers are worried that changes to Agricultural Property Relief (APR) will affect them. But who are the big landowners complaining the loudest?... 1/
