Before the election, Keir Starmer claimed that he understood the financial peril of farmers and promised to support them. He has betrayed them. Instead, the Labour government are hammering farmers with inheritance tax, compulsory purchase of land and removal of SFI payments.
Raise you 🤚 and Repost if YOU think RUPERT LOWE should be REINSTATED Immediately. 🇬🇧
Britain doesn’t have time for these petty squabbles, the stakes are just too high.
Under new sentencing rules there is blatant discrimination against straight white men.
Starmer sneered at those who said we have a two-tier justice system. Rayner labelled them ‘conspiracy theorists’.
But here it is in black and white.
Two-tier justice under two-tier Keir.
Anyone else find it odd that the EU is having an emergency meeting regarding the invasion of Ukraine but they don’t have & have never had an emergency meeting regarding the invasion of EU Countries.
Strange that don’t you think 🤔
I am confused. Starmer is taking £500 million from UK farmers in IHT and giving £500 million to farmers abroad. How exactly does that help NHS waiting lists?
Graham Stuart, MP for Beverley and Holderness delivers a great speech in the parliamentary inheritance tax on family farms debate:
It is possible to challenge one’s Government. I said to my Whips then that the best service we could do the Government was to prevent them from doing something stupid, harmful and alienating to voters. I hope that Government Members can see that, because the Opposition cannot change this. People outside say to me, “Can we get this changed?” It is actually up to Labour MPs. They have the majority. Democracy is not about having a majority and doing what one likes. Democracy is about listening and doing what the now Prime Minister told the NFU when he said:
“You deserve a Government that listens, that heeds early warnings”.
There are one or two warnings about. Listen, change: if the Government change, four years on, no one will remember the U-turn. Whatever civil servants say—they are always very keen to stick with a policy—if it is wrong, stop doing it. And this is wrong. In the minute and 20 seconds I have left, let me say why it is so wrong. We have touched on the various elements, but I am not sure we have pulled it all together.
We have a really peculiar group of businesspeople in this country; they are called farmers. They take a return on capital—the millions they have invested in their farms—that is typically less than 1%. There is nobody that I am aware of—no business I was ever involved in—that would remotely consider continuing in an industry that paid less than 1%. These farmers take a pittance and get up at 4 o’clock in the morning for the privilege. They look after the animals and it does not matter if they are ill; they cannot carry their employment rights and go, “I’m not well, I shouldn’t have to go out,” because the cows do not care: they have to go out and look after them, and then they get less than 1% return.
Those farmers, the most beneficent public-minded businesspeople in the whole country, then provide excellent food at among the lowest prices in Europe. If ever there were a business that we would not want to go and mess with, it is these—I should not say it, because I will make enemies of them.
We must understand how remarkable it is that there is a whole group of businesspeople who take practically nothing from their business, work all the hours God gives, and provide us with some of the finest food in the world at among the lowest prices in Europe. Why would we want to mess with that? Not only do they do that, but they brainwash their children from the earliest age so that they carry on doing it. These people are in indentured service to the nation, providing food while making very little profit. They do it willingly and, in fact, love it: it is their life. To go and mess with them out of some stupid, socialist spite is ridiculous and absurd, and Government Members know that—the hon. Member for North Northumberland certainly does, and he should lead his colleagues to tell the Chancellor to change course, just as we did in 2012 when George Osborne got it wrong.”
