@Johnnywas25 @returningfromt2 @RupertLowe10 No you said a farm that finds itself with a £500k tax bill and £50k a year profit can pay it over 10 years. So this business stands to make no profit for 10 years. Hardly sustainable. Which farms get millions and for doing what ?

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.

@sianllewellyn17 @APPLECAKE20 @RupertLowe10 You do appreciate that there is a cut off point where the farm is too small to be economically viable. Very few make a decent profit as it is

@APPLECAKE20 @RupertLowe10 Businesses can be downsized without going bust. Obviously it's not ideal and every business works a bit different. But other family businesses are the same when it comes to inheritance. Tbh I think inheritance tax is a questionable concept in any circumstances.

@Dumnorix24 @RupertLowe10 Farms grow food for people - you do appreciate that ?

@ThomasBHall @RupertLowe10 Which land

@ThomasBHall @RupertLowe10 Which lane is eligible for which subsidies ? How viable is renting out a few acres to the renter ?

@JohnNew24642664 @salvadore_more @laura_f15515 @RupertLowe10 Or you sell to a property developer and there is one less food producer in the U.K. ! Genius plan

@salvadore_more @laura_f15515 @RupertLowe10 Nope, it gets bought by someone else. When you sell a farm to a new owner it stays the same size. You're confusing this with inheritance where the farm can get split up if multiple children inherit 1 farm. Farmers selling up opens up opportunity for new entrants

@NuclearDanR @RupertLowe10 It is a hell of a lot more for a farmer. A 40 year is not getting £500k for £10’s of pounds a month

@RupertLowe10 For a working age person a life insurance of £500k is a few £10's per month. This law change will only make it more difficult for non farmers to use agricultural land to avoid IHT.

@ErionNetique @Sir_Cuffington @AnalyticsGenius @theleftbible At what cost ??! A female colleague was out for dinner with clients. Single stalls but communal sinks. She came out to reapply her make up and one of her dinner guests was washing his hands next to her. She didn’t like that.

@ken61267 @Sir_Cuffington @AnalyticsGenius @theleftbible Arguably, I think that most people don't want to use a men's public bathroom at all to begin with. Literally, you can just make separate stalls like sane people with problem-solving skills. Including shower-stalls.

This 🏳️‍⚧️

@ErionNetique @Sir_Cuffington @AnalyticsGenius @theleftbible I have never said it would make them a predator. But some are and many women will feel uncomfortable having men who think they are women in their spaces

@ken61267 @Sir_Cuffington @AnalyticsGenius @theleftbible Just because someone wants to be able to spray her sour apple and vanilla perfume and use their hairspray to fix their hairstyle in the bathroom that DOESNT have shit on the literal wall and broken, missing sinks, doesn't mean they're a predator.

@ErionNetique @Sir_Cuffington @AnalyticsGenius @theleftbible Again we aren’t talking about showering with somebody. Simply invading female spaces for affirmation / power.

@ken61267 @Sir_Cuffington @AnalyticsGenius @theleftbible And yet, I am replying to the thread where we mentioned separate bathrooms. I have never known a trans woman who wants to shower with anyone they aren't in a romantic relationship with. And most of them would prefer to shit at home like the rest of us.

@ErionNetique @Sir_Cuffington @AnalyticsGenius @theleftbible You can’t compare a new suit to a male invading female spaces !! Although they are in costume

@ken61267 @Sir_Cuffington @AnalyticsGenius @theleftbible Bro, literally every human on earth wants validation. If you wear a shitty new suit, but it's emotionally important to you, I'm not gonna tear you down just because your suit is poorly fitted and cheap. I'm gonna go "congrats on the event" like a normal, empathetic person.

@uncanny15861551 @AnalyticsGenius @theleftbible So because some coaches have committed crimes that is justification to let any male into female spaces?

@AnalyticsGenius @theleftbible Check out all the male coaches that have been abusing kids like your daughter with impunity for decades. It ain’t trans folks you people need to fear.

@emeraldthegirli You aren’t in immediate danger-Christ !

@VonderPorn @SAMaskeri @SamanthaTaghoy You mean conquered by a superior group of people?

@SAMaskeri @SamanthaTaghoy This!!! Indigenous people are threatened that their land will be stolen again, like it has over and over again all around the world. There will never be equality. Once the colonizers consider themselves “equal,” they will always find a way to rise above the minority.

Let’s be clear: The Māori are not oppressed in modern New Zealand. In fact, they were protesting a bill that would give equal rights to all New Zealanders and remove their special status and preferential rights. So… they’re fighting 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙩 equality.

@a_thomas36 @ostenati @SamanthaTaghoy What rights will they lose ?

🧵 Let's break down what's really going on with this Treaty bill (1/5) Ok, so everyone's asking what's wrong with the bill if it looks fine on paper. Here's the deal: 2/ The sneaky part is in the wording about Māori rights. It says they'll only protect rights "at the time they signed it" (1840). That's like saying we should stick to 1840s rules in 2024 😬 3/ Why this matters: • Treaties are meant to grow with time • Courts have spent decades updating interpretations • You can't just freeze rights to 1840 and call it fair 4/ Fun fact: NZ doesn't even have a written constitution! But this bill would mess with: • Partnership agreements built over years • Modern Treaty interpretations • Rights that have evolved since 1840 5/ Bottom line: It's not about what the bill says - it's about what it would undo. Decades of progress and modern interpretations would go *poof* 💨 #TreatyOfWaitangi #NZPolitics #Aotearoa (Keeping it real without the legal jargon 😉)

@DianeCarolRoy1 @MadchenTekkno @legaltweetz In what way ?

@MadchenTekkno @legaltweetz No, he wasn't

The day I graduated from college. 2006. I graduated with a bachelor’s of science with honors in political science & women’s studies (I double majored). You know what I’m sick of? Anti-intellectualism. The idea that some troll on Twitter is more of an expert than I am in certain areas, even though I truly am the expert in comparison. It’s exhausting & boring.

@15BigOnes @009Kat @legaltweetz You think you aren’t male ??

@ChaosKitty36 @009Kat @legaltweetz Their are female ??
