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.

So let me get this straight. Facial recognition is ESSENTIAL for your safety. For security. For protection. But burqas. Niqabs. Face coverings. Those are LEGAL. Freedom of choice.

You can't have both unless the whole thing is a lie. They want your face scanned for safety but allow people to hide their faces for freedom. Pick one. You can't mandate facial recognition AND let people conceal themselves unless it was never about security. It's about control and they got caught.

One of these things isn't about safety. One of them's about control.

Government just accidentally told you which is which.

The Brexit Derangement Syndrome is off the scale at the moment.

Reform (formerly known as the BREXIT PARTY) just swept to victory across working class areas.

Response? Oh, it’s obviously time to rejoin the EU…

Do these people even believe in democracy?

It's absolutely delicious that the *ONLY* defence Keir Starmer has now is to claim he "was repeatedly lied to by his advisers and didn't know what was going on in his own house and his own office"

Yet, here he is accusing Boris Johnson of EXACTLY THAT!

You couldn't make it up.

Keir Starmer perfectly summing up Keir Starmer

This went huge yesterday!

“Brexit did deep damage to our economy,” says Sir Keir.

“No, it didn’t,” says Facts4EU,
“and we prove you’re lying, with one stunning chart.”

BREAKING NEWS: “Starmer denies knowing he was Prime Minister”

Sir Kier Starmer has revealed that no one told him until last Tuesday he won the 2024 election and had become PM.

He told Beth Rigby “I was totally kept in the dark by my officials. I’m really angry about it.”
