You can punish all White people for something a White dude did hundreds of years ago but DON’T you DARE punish the Somalis for something tons of Somalis do every day
I found the Prime Minister’s defence of Peter Mandelson at PMQs today quite appalling.
Saying Mandelson “regrets” doing business dealings with a convicted paedophile is no defence. This man should be nowhere near government and the PM’s refusal to sack him today does a disservice to victims.
The PM should listen to Epstein’s victims and sack him.
@UlsterWasp@RugbyInsideLine Who would you rather have at 12 than Slade?
He leads the defence and has playmaking ability. No 12 in England can do the job he is doing there.
There are a lot of very stupid things being said on the family farming tax, by people who are proving themselves to be entirely ignorant of British agriculture.
The farm may be worth millions, but it's worth NOTHING until it's sold. So when the farm is passed down, and this huge tax bill arrives - what is the family supposed to do? They don't have hundreds of thousands of pounds sitting in the bank...
Farming is not a lucrative career. It does not make much money. The land is valuable, but the returns are not.
Running a farm is bloody expensive - profits are minuscule in comparison to the value of the actual farm.
This is really not a complicated principle, yet I see idiots parroting utter nonsense.
Labour's farming tax will force thousands of farming families to sell the farm to pay the inheritance tax bill. Farms that have been in those families for generations - if it were not for this tax, they would never dream of selling.
It's really that simple, and it will change British farming forever.
This is a tax drawn up by people who have NO understanding of agriculture. There are three farming MPs in Parliament, I am one of them...
Trust me when I say this - Labour does NOT understanding farming. It would be laughable if they were not running the damn country.
I wouldn't be surprised if a majority of Labour MPs believe that potatoes grow on trees. These are urban people who think that a farm is a family day out, an opportunity to feed the sheep and ride the tractor.
Clueless. On farming, and so much else.
I will be standing alongside thousands of other British farmers tomorrow. We must make our voices heard.
Reeves must reverse her cruel assault on British family farms. Either she does it now, or we'll do it in 2029.
Farmers leaving London cleaner than they found it and will feed a lot of people through donations to food banks. The Government have been told they have made a mistake and have been asked politely to change it. A show of quiet force. Very proud to stand with fellow farmers.
We are literally witnessing a co-ordinated plan to shut down farming in order to control the food chain.
When they control the food . . . . they control us.
To all the farmers attending London tomorrow:
GOOD LUCK AND SOCK IT TO 'EM. 👊

@PeterSweden7 There was a number more like 40,000 there. 10,000 signed up. 15,000 expected. Well over twice the area covered, people spilling round onto the embankment.
