A farmer dies in April 2026.
His son inherits the farm. The farm has been in the family since 1847.
The farm consists of: 300 acres of grazing pasture, a farmhouse built in 1892, a barn, a milking parlour, two tractors of varying ages, a Land Rover that runs about 70% of the time, and a herd of 180 Hereford-cross cattle.
On paper, the farm is worth approximately £3.2 million. This is because land near him has been bought recently by a London hedge fund looking for carbon credits, which has dragged the comparable value of every field within forty miles upward to a number nobody local can justify.
In cash, the farm produces a profit of about £28,000 a year in a good year. In a bad year it loses money. The son also works as a fencing contractor three days a week to keep the operation viable.
The inheritance tax bill on a £3.2 million estate, even at the reduced 20% rate, comes to approximately £140,000 after the increased threshold is applied. The son does not have £140,000. The son has never had £140,000. The son has £4,200 in his current account and an overdraft.
The son sells 60 acres to a developer to pay the tax. The developer puts solar panels on the 60 acres. The remaining herd cannot be sustained on the reduced land. The herd is sold. The barn becomes a holiday let.
A different family eats Brazilian beef this Christmas without knowing why the price went up.
The Treasury collects £140,000.
The land never produces British food again.

🚨NEWS: A woman has been raped in a park in Dunfermline. Police have revealed NO DETAILS about the suspect.
We all know what this means
The migrant rape epidemic of Britain continues
How many more women have to pay the price?
Ross County become just the fourth club in Scottish football history* to suffer back-to-back relegations from the top flight to the third tier after:
St Johnstone (1983-85)

1/ In January 2008, PC Neil Sampson walked towards a man with a knife. He took seven stab wounds doing it.
His dog Anya, already bleeding, kept hold of the attacker so her handler could live.
That same man, Essa Suleiman stabbed two people yesterday in a terror attack in Golders Green.
Here’s what happened next. 🧵

“Who first suggested to the Prime Minister that Mandelson should be appointed as our ambassador to the United States, or was it just his own idea?”
A good question from Julian Lewis MP. Which the PM simply didn’t answer.
🔥NEW - buried in the bundle of documents from the Humble Address
Keir Starmer was advised by the cabinet secretary Simon Case to do security clearance BEFORE appointment but ignored the suggestion.
Case said (If you want a political appointment) "you should give us the name of the person you would like to appoint and we will develop a plan for them to acquire the necessary security clearances and do due diligence on any potential Conflicts of Interest or other issues of which you should be aware *before* confirming you choice"
Which feels quite material .....
Very very happy, so many moments yesterday but sharing them with my boy & @djmmcl having sat together for many years in South Stand and been through the lows and now the highest high at Hampden
