"I farm just under 5,000 acres myself,"

Says multi-multimillionaire Lord Lloyd Webber, whose descendants will now presumably have to pay inheritance tax on it.

The "ordinary farmers" are really out in force huh.

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

The multi-millionaire who bought farmland to avoid tax…

And the man who decimated farming to progress his own career

…are now the self-appointed saviours of farming

On today’s pod we discuss how people have lost their damned minds.

Listen on link below…

Good point

So here's #Farage 'Supporting British Farmers' ...

[Tim Walker @ThatTimWalker]

🤔 I wonder if the Daily Mail owner’s 4,700 acres in Dorset has in any way influenced this front page.

[Narinder Kaur @narindertweets]

And well..here we have it.
Tax dodgers leader.
#FarmersProtest2024

[Sam Freedman @Samfr]

What I'd like to hear from farmers and those supporting them is an alternative proposal. It seems few are willing to defend billionaires buying up farmland to avoid tax but want to protect smaller farms.

What's the best way to do that? Seems more useful than a protest.

[Otto English @Otto_English]

The protestors today want you to call it "the tractor tax."

In fact, farmers pay no road tax, and as they come into London, they'll pay no ULEZ and no congestion charge either.

Exempt.

This is not about tractors. It's about inheritance tax.

@tonyblackburn I'd go with the asking for forgiveness rather than permission approach 😉

2024: Laura Kuenssberg criticises Labour who have been in office for four months for not fixing social care

2019: Boris Johnson, "I am announcing on the steps of Downing Street that we will fix the crisis in social care once and for all with a clear plan we have prepared"

@docrussjackson Odious woman.

[Skew Spew Barmy Hairdo Curmudgeon Bigot and Smug @SkewSmug]

Get in the fucking bin @BBCNews, you fucking division spreading lying cunts.

Headline: Rioter Jailed for asking if drivers were 'white'.

Reality: He pleaded guilty to violent disorder, torching a car, racist chanting, and pushing a bin that was on fire at police.

[Thomas Standfield @TStandfield1789]

"They’re destroying an industry that’s already on its knees and struggling, absolutely struggling, mentally, emotionally and physically."
Nah.
The farmers did that to themselves.
And the Tory Party.
Brexit means Brexit.

[Tim Walker @ThatTimWalker]

We really do need to talk about Palantir.

[Paul Tinsley @TinsleyP]

@LiamNorcliffe Indeed, but Berry wonder goal aside, we didn't carve out a chance, never made their keeper work, were 2nd to most 2nd balls, let them bully us and some of our players were indeed idling. They had energy in shed loads.

[Paul Tinsley @TinsleyP]

With one eye on the right wing nut jobs and the opportunity presented to Musk and Zuckerberg to flood their platforms with misinformation untill the next US election (if there will ever be another than isn't as dodgy as an Orban one), I'm easing out of Twitter on to Blue sky.

@Telegraph Funny that any decent journalist would both know Parliament rules state a Party of 6 o more MPs BUT also that Farage pulled the same stunt in 2014

Next time you see the Daily Mail telling us that “human rights do not exist” or denouncing a court ruling upholding the rights of refugees or trans people, remember that they’re always happy to rely on human rights law when it favours them... https://t.co/PzToHXymdv
