We said we’d deliver free breakfast clubs. 

That’s exactly what we’re doing.

Why are we sanitising the people responsible for lying to us and trashing the country?

When are we going to learn?

And did anyone ask him how that cheaper food promise is working out?

Oh come on, you can't expect farmers like James Dyson to have to pay inheritance tax like everyone else, remember its just assets, not cash.
Here is a lovely picture of part of Jim's £20million Dodington estate

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…

Have a Google of this man. Such a hard working ordinary farmer, he went to Eaton, works for the Spectator, Telegraph and GB News, writes novels and stood to be an MP for George Galloways party.

And apparently farming is a 24/7 job.

Dear farmers,
Fleets of brand new Range Rover’s parked in train station car parks.
First class carriages fully booked with millionaire farmers holding oh woe is me placards.
Farmers blocking roads in Central London driving brand new tractors.

Pleading poverty, won’t wash!

[. @LouiseRawAuthor]

Unimpressed by the ‘Wellies for Wealth’ rally.

These aren’t the people who’ve worked the land for centuries.
They’re the ones who stole it, enclosed it, & imposed serfdom.

The continuation of that is rich racists Farage and Clarkson (who bragged about buying a farm as a tax

[Jess Davies @_JessicaDavies]

40 Just Stop Oil political prisoners sit in prison at the moment for blocking roads or throwing paint/soup in a protest about the climate.

Farmers are protesting having to pay a reduced inheritance tax and driving into police officers with tractors.

That’s two-tier policing.

[alastair @al_wae]

@omid9 Thank you Omid for continuing to raise these awful injustices.

[Oliver @OWS1892]

State of these grinning halfwits applauding the racist grifter that wrecked their industry. Fuck 'em.

Real farmers v Tory propaganda

[Ben Kentish @BenKentish]

The news that people inheriting land worth at least £1 million will have to pay tax on it has drawn significantly more outrage from politicians and the press than the news that 1 in 3 children in Britain are now living in poverty.

[Dale Vince @DaleVince]

Clarkson’s two main motivations for buying his farm were to avoid inheritance tax and to kill animals for fun. Hardly a man of the people…

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

This is the truth about Labour's Budget and farmers.

[Marcus Chown @marcuschown]

When I think of all the marches I’ve been on, some with 100,000s, that newspapers and TV have totally ignored, and then I see this one against inheritance tax, which will hit only the wealthiest, including those who bought land to dodge tax, and the wall-to-wall media coverage…

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

Andrew Lloyd Webber is not a farmer. He's a rich landlord who, one time was persuaded by the Tories to fly back from New York to vote in favour of reducing tax credits.

Millions of people on low incomes and people with disabilities suffered because of it.

[lee harpin @lmharpin]

Labour hitting back on Kemi Badenoch speech to farmers. “Let us not forget that it was Kemi Badenoch’s Conservatives that forced over twelve thousand farmers and agricultural businesses out of business.
 They sold farmers out in trade deals, left them facing spiralling

[sue#NHSLove💙💙💙#FBNHS suesuezep.bsky.social @SueSuezep]

Jeremy Clarkson & James Dyson, using land as a tax dodge, boasting loudly about it & patting themselves on the back for being so clever, have done more damage to farmers than they will ever realise
