Fine for the 500 wealthy landowners and their plebs block the motorways but not climate protesters?

'Two tier'..

Look at the Guardian daring to to report factual information.

No doubt the Police have their dogs and battons primed.

'So Brexit never had a chance to work with both Labour and Tories never wanting it to occur.'

Just how a cast adrift economy with no leverage was meant to fair well after Brexit is anyone's guess.

I'd rather the UK generate it's own profit than be the lapdog of someone like Musk.

Taverham,

The only 'boom' will be the sound of bombs. I look forward to the inevitable Trump/Musk meltdown and Musk announcing he's a Democrat. The foundation we have is a desperate one as one former U.S trade Secretary put it..

'"Britain has no leverage. Britain is desperate. Britain has nothing else,"

"It needs an agreement [on trade with the U.S.]. When you have a desperate partner that's when you strike the hardest bargain."

The future looks rosey!

'Please note this is just social media speculation and I have no knowledge if any of it is true.'

There is actually a vid doing the rounds..

Tavernham,

Why indeed are they doing it? In reality Labour should tax the estimated 500 landowners affected by far more and certainly shouldn't give them 10 years to pay.

Told you it wouldn't take long now didn't i...

Please stick to the subject in hand. The board is public and it isn't right that you ruin it for others.

Well worth reposting the fact of the matter, before they get lost amongst the usual LLOY board nonsense.

Under the reforms to inheritance tax relief on agricultural land proposed in the budget, about 500 individuals who inherit land worth more than £2m (£3m if they were married to the deceased) will join the rest of society and have inheritance tax levied on their bequest – albeit at half the rate, with an enlarged exemption and 10 years to pay it, concessions not made to the rest of us.

Great input from GateBoy. Nowt like informed argument.

My Brexit mention was in reply to hardup, who wrongly stated that farmers had voted Remain.

Great informative post from you, as usual.

(wait for wait for it.... GateBoy is aching to mention me)

The hoarding of land that has gone on since the bung was introduced by Margaret Thatcher in 1984, which has so steadily driven up land prices and farmers’ rents, will at last be checked as some of the larger estates are obliged to sell parcels of land to pay inheritance tax, as they did before 1984 without the world falling in, rather than be enabled to own it in perpetuity. Young farmers, now increasingly crowded out of the market, will get a chance to buy land: there is the prospect of a levelling off, even a fall, in farm rents. New life and ideas will be brought to the rural economy as innovative, energetic farmers enter the market – and production even increases.

Reality..

The farmers aren't getting taxed as much as everyone else and have 10 years to pay, unlike everyone else.

Only Far Right members ingesting fake news use X these days.

Truss like.

Churchill.. on 26 January pressed Sinclair for a plan of operations: "I asked [last night] whether Berlin, and no doubt other large cities in east Germany, should not now be considered especially attractive targets ... Pray, report to me tomorrow what is going to be done".

In response to Churchill's inquiry, Sinclair approached Bottomley, who asked Harris to undertake attacks on Berlin, Dresden, Leipzig, and Chemnitz as soon as moonlight and weather permitted.

In his biography of Attlee and Churchill, Leo McKinstry wrote: "When Churchill arrived at Yalta on 4 February 1945, the first question that Stalin put to him was: 'Why haven't you bombed Dresden?' His enquiry reflected the importance that the Soviet Union attached to an attack on the city, following intelligence reports that Germany was moving large numbers of troops towards the Breslau Front. Churchill assured Stalin that an Allied attack was imminent."

Off you trot.

Since Attlee.

'Kemi Badenoch’s personal approval ratings at the start of her Tory leadership are worse than those recorded by Rishi Sunak and Boris Johnson at the start of their reigns, according to the latest Opinium poll.

The new Tory leader’s net approval rating – the difference between those who approve or disapprove of the job she is doing – sits at -5%. The only former party leader of the past five years that she beats in terms of her starting popularity is Liz Truss (GateBoy heroine) whose first approval rating was -9% after she won the leadership.

Why don't you give him a quick five knuckle shuffle and have done with it.
