@wheat_daddy @tcl80 @ListerLawrence Farmers problem.. should keep it all contained, one big parcel of land
English

@NingalooBaby @BBCNewsnight 53% of farmers voted for Brexit, roughly in line with the national vote. Stop peddling the same old lies.
English

@BBCNewsnight Farmers voted for brexit and think Clarkson is the messiah. Not a fan of them.
English

"I have no idea whether I'll be cropping my fields in September... farmers haven't got the money to go and spend on all these products, we're not all Jeremy Clarkson"
Newsnight viewer and farmer Mark Baker White warns of the impact fertiliser price rises.

@ChoosySusy @timfarron That’s not subsidies for food production! It’s payments for environmental schemes. You can’t eat bird food.
English

@timfarron Nonsense. You've been thoroughly captured by the NFU / farming & landowning lobby it seems.
UK taxpayers subsidises farmers to the tune of around £2 billion pounds a year. Huge grants and subsidies are available for farmers (via the Gov.UK website for instance).
English

@Scarrowmanwick @timfarron That’s not support for growing food
English

@timfarron I thought they were rife with subsidies, lots of fields round here have been to left to grow stuff I cant remember the name of to encourage insects etc. Shows how naive I am.

@Lisasmi03470723 @LizWebsterSBF @terrychristian @NFUtweets 53% voted for Brexit. What is your point?
English

UK farm exports to the EU are down around 37% since Brexit. That’s lost markets, lost relationships, lost food security and lost income.
Yet @NFUtweets leadership response is to double down on divergence, arguing it protects farmers. In reality, divergence is exactly what has made EU trade harder and more expensive in the first place.
You cannot rebuild access to your largest and closest market while entrenching regulatory separation from it.
You don’t rebuild your biggest market while hard-coding exclusion from it.

@GrahamJohn37203 @FarmingUK Name me a sub 90hp British built tractor
English

@FarmingUK Don't support the foreign workers that built that foreign tractor.

@simonru51350193 @FarmingUK Yea I’ve been searching for a British made pick-up for a while now
English

@FarmingUK Will British farmers be buying British machinery and vehicles then?
English

@Jacquesfromhere @FarmersGuardian @JeremyClarkson You are seriously deluded if you think JC’s estate will pay IHT. He can afford the best solicitors and accountants to put his assets in trusts and has the money to maintain them. Same as all others of his ilk.
English

@FarmersGuardian @JeremyClarkson Of course Clarkson isn't happy. Family farms can now escape tax if they're worth up to £5m
But landowners like him will still have to pay his inheritance tax
People doing nightshifts on minimum wage pay tax. Why shouldn't multi-millionaires like Clarkson?
English

🗣️ "A battle has been won. But the fight goes on.”
@JeremyClarkson says the Government's raising of IHT exemption thresholds does not go far enough for farmers. ❌📣
Writing in The Sun, he said: "There are still thousands of farmers out there who are having to deal with the stress of knowing that they cannot pass their farm on to the only people who know how to run it.”

@CSPolicies @NoFarmsNoFoods Every farm in 2026 is to receive only £600 in subsidy, last part of the phasing out of BPS
English

@NoFarmsNoFoods Average farm subsidy is around £18,300 per farm. Should hard-working taxpayers reduce how much they are subsidising farms?
English

Labour’s own rigged report just let the cat out of the bag.
Baroness Batters confirms what we all know: Starmer’s death tax will hammer farm profitability and push families to the brink.
The best bit? They banned her from recommending they scrap it.
They know this destroys family farms. That’s the point!
Bankrupt the owners, force a sale, and carpet our countryside in industrial solar panels.
It’s not incompetence; it’s a rural clearance strategy.

English

@Toptap_one @NoFarmsNoFoods What other businesses are impacted by the changes to APR then?
English

@NoFarmsNoFoods There is no such thing as a family farm tax.
There's Inheritance tax, and every UK citizen is bound by its rules.
You aren't special, even though you get special treatment.
Pay your taxes.

English

@debs_cot @Jenny_1884 Over 2 years. You forgot to mention that. Same rate since 2014 so not a record amount. You forgot to mention that as well.
English

'Farmers should be treated as a national asset.'
Farmer Kathleen Renner says the Government needs to prioritise the UK's food security.

@DunstewGerald @John2Win How many other businesses have lost APR?
English

@John2Win It's not a Family Farm Tax. It's simply "Tax". We all have to pay it but at twice the rate of farmers. Those farmers need to get back to their Tory-sponsored rewilding projects.....put in place to appease the farmers whose food production was shafted by Brexit!!
English

Most people might not realise it, but our ability to feed ourselves sits upon a knife edge after decades of neglect & apathy from successive governments.
Will @UKLabour continue to push British farmers over the edge or will they listen to reason on IHT?

English

@JoeWStanley @cashandcarrots So, you’re calling on them to stop the discounted rates & thresholds that farmers enjoy? Interesting take
🤪🤪🤪😂😂😂
English

Just words.
This government has gone out of its way to throttle farms & the rural economy.
If you mean a word of this, scrap your own Family Farm Tax & relaunch a properly funded SFI, today.
Emma Reynolds for Wycombe 🌹@EmmaforWycombe
Rural economy is fundamental to our growth mission - when rural Britain succeeds, the whole country succeeds. Today at the @CLAtweets’s #RBC25, I set out the future we want to build in partnership with the sector ⬇️

@NoFarmsNoFoods The overall budget for farm support schemes was announced in the October 2024 budget with £5 billion over two years, including £2.4 billion for 2025/26, which Ministers said meant the “highest ever funding” levels for farming.
English

@NoFarmsNoFoods Tenant farmers do not pay IHT but landowners do

@Matt_Pinner yes, I wish they would stop growing GMOs and stop using chemicals. Use practices like the Amish do. We all would be healthier for it.
