A timeline of one man's cunning inheritance tax scheme.

2008: Buy a thousand acres in Oxfordshire. Tell The Times that dodging inheritance tax is the critical thing. Scheme live.

2009 to 2018: Do absolutely nothing. A villager farms it on contract. Flawless.

2019: The villager retires. Rather than hire another one, decide to farm a thousand acres yourself, having never grown anything.

Also 2019: Invite a film crew.

2020: Rain for nine weeks. Profit on a thousand acres: £144.

2021: Broadcast the £144 to the largest streaming platform on earth, thereby informing the entire planet that farmland makes nothing.

2021: Open a farm shop. Acquire a queue down a lane and the undivided attention of West Oxfordshire District Council.

2022: Restaurant refused. Enforcement notice. Six weeks to take a barn apart.

2023: Lose the appeal. Lose it again.

May 2024: Accidentally get English planning law rewritten. Lawyers name it Clarkson's Clause.

August 2024: Open a pub selling only British food. Sell your own sausage at 74p against 18p imported, and eat the difference on every plate.

October 2024: The Chancellor caps agricultural property relief at a million. Scheme dead.

November 2024: Stand on a platform in Westminster in front of thirteen thousand farmers, drawing maximum national attention to the exact tax break you were supposedly hiding behind.

July 2025: Go down with TB. First calf ever born on the farm destroyed, pregnant with twins. Gate padlocked.

23 December 2025: Government retreats. The threshold goes from one million to two and a half. Five million for a couple.

March 2026: Farm declared clear.

July 2026: Drive four hundred miles to Scotland and buy more cows.

Eighteen years.

Planning law changed. Agricultural degree applications climbing. Cited in the Commons more times than most ministers manage. Half the estates that were going to be caught by the tax are no longer caught by it.

He was accused of buying a farm to dodge inheritance tax, and then spent eighteen months getting the relief raised for everybody else's.

Worst tax dodger in British history.

Best thing to happen to British farming in fifty years.

🚨 Over 25,000 people have now signed the petition in just FIVE DAYS.

Look at the map, this isn’t one town. One region. Or one political tribe.

People across the country are backing one simple principle:

If a public body can’t properly account for our money, it shouldn’t be allowed to take even more from us.

At 100,000 signatures, the petition can be considered for debate in Parliament.

We’re already a quarter of the way there.

Let’s get this into Parliament.

Sign. Share. Tell everyone you know. 👇

Andy Burnham should scrap the £30 billion spaffed away on carbon capture machines. Build reservoirs and desalination plants instead.

Britain faces a choice between speculative, high-risk carbon capture technology versus the most basic infrastructure of a functioning nation: water supply security.

Meanwhile, the Labour government has already committed up to £21.7 billion over 25 years for the first carbon capture clusters with further development funding for others, and total carbon capture infrastructure costs projected by independent analysis at up to £408 billion by 2050. Around three-quarters of subsidies are expected to fall on consumers via energy bill levies.

Contrast this with the underinvestment in water security. England alone faces a projected shortfall of up to 5 billion litres a day for public supplies by 2055. No major new reservoir has been completed in more than three decades. 35-40 reservoirs have been sold off over the past 35 years.

This summer, large parts of England and Wales have been in drought, with national reservoir storage falling to around 66–75% and multiple key reservoirs classified as exceptionally or notably low, rivers at record lows for the season, and hosepipe bans affecting tens of millions.

Unlike carbon capture machines, technology for reservoirs and desalination is proven to work. Reservoirs last a century or more with relatively low ongoing maintenance; desalination plants, provide drought-proof coastal supply and that could deliver hundreds of millions of litres per day.

Redirect the £30 billion. Build new reservoirs. Install the desalination plants. Secure the country’s water future with technology that works, rather than subsidising the non essential net zero nonsense of carbon capture machines.

[A View From Yorkshire @models_by_Russ]

Dear HM Government, (UK)

Firstly, congratulations. You’ve managed to discover a brand-new definition of transparency.

Apparently, the people who write the laws can have their criminal records kept secret from the very people expected to obey those laws. That’s an impressive piece of political gymnastics.

The rest of us apply for jobs, volunteer roles, taxi licences, security passes, and all manner of positions where background checks are considered perfectly reasonable. Yet when it comes to those entrusted with running the country… suddenly privacy becomes the highest constitutional principle.

Forgive us if we’re a little confused.

If a criminal record is irrelevant to holding public office, then explain why. If it is relevant, then surely voters deserve to know before they hand over power at the ballot box.

Democracy relies on informed consent. It’s difficult to make an informed choice if important information about elected representatives is deliberately withheld.

This isn’t about conducting witch hunts or judging people for minor mistakes made decades ago. It’s about accountability. Those who expect the public’s trust should be prepared to earn it through openness, not secrecy.
Unlike the government’s pursuit of Veterans 🤔

So, a simple question:

Why should MPs and ministers be held to a lower standard of transparency than many ordinary citizens applying for everyday jobs?

After all, “nothing to hide” seems to apply enthusiastically to taxpayers, but rather less enthusiastically to taxpayers’ employees.

Is transparency now something that’s only expected of the governed, while the governors are exempt?
Abit like the COVID vaccine 🤔 there is a pattern,

Perhaps we’ve misunderstood how equality works. We foolishly assumed the same standards applied to everyone. It would appear they do… right up until someone becomes an MP.

The British public doesn’t expect perfection.

We do, however, expect honesty, accountability, and the same standards from those who make our laws as they expect from those who obey them.

Yours, slightly bewildered,

A Taxpayer 🇬🇧

A man who spent thirty years reviewing sports cars has taught this country more about its own food than every minister, union and campaign of the last fifty years combined.

Here is what five series of Clarkson's Farm put in front of the public, and not one line of it is opinion.

- A thousand acres, worked flat out for a year, made a profit of £144. Under forty pence a day.
- By year six the same farm was losing money, weather and prices turning a projected £37,000 into a five grand loss.
- A crop can drown in the field after months of work and take everything with it, and nobody is coming to help.
- The farmer is the only man in the food chain who sells at a price he does not set. The supermarket sets it. He takes it or he takes nothing.
- The council can shut his restaurant, refuse his car park and stop him selling his own food off his own land.
- The subsidy he was told to lean on can be closed overnight, the big estates first through the door, the small farms locked out.
- One outbreak of bovine TB can lock a farm down for months, banned from buying or selling a single cow, through no fault of its own.
- Rear pigs with real care and the butcher's maths can still make them a loss, so the animals go and the loss stays.
- The margins are so thin that a rich man buys farmland not to earn from it but to shelter money that earns elsewhere. The shelter exists precisely because the farming does not.

Now hold that against the story you were sold. Greedy farmers. Subsidised for doing nothing. Wrecking a countryside they are somehow also the custodians of.

There is no profit. That was the reveal. A show that set out to be funny accidentally filmed the slow strangling of the people who feed us, and the country watched it happen and finally understood what its cheap food actually costs.

Clarkson has now admitted the plainest part out loud: it is the television money keeping Diddly Squat alive, and most farms do not have a television show. Britain grows about sixty per cent of its own food and the average farmer is past sixty. That is why both numbers are heading the wrong way.

It took a Lamborghini tractor and a man doing it for a laugh. Fifty years of earnest campaigning could not manage it.
