Before the election when Labour was campaigning as the low-tax, business friendly party, the then Shadow Environment Secretary Steve Reed reassured the Country Land and Business Association conference: “We have no intention of changing Agricultural Property Relief (an exemption on inheritance tax for farm property.”) He twice confirmed Labour wouldn’t alter the tax relief as the CLA’s president stressed it would “in a single swipe would take small farms out”…
Following the government's decision to renege on this pledge which was revealed by Chancellor Rachel Reeves in this weeks Budget, we hear farmers groups are already planning the kind of protests seen in EU nations last year over an EU decision to put 'Net Zero' ahead of food prouction and tax European farmers so heavily while imposing stringent restrictions on their activity many would be forced out of business.
We hear rapid efforts are currently underway to organise gilet-jaune-style protests among disparate farming groups on the back of Reeves’ budget measures, a camaingn similar to the protests last year that forced the EU to back down on plans to tax farmers. The National Farmers Union is already organising a protest rally in Westminster for Tuesday 19th November.
One protest organiser told media representatives: “We haven’t seen this kind of anger in among farmers since the Countryside March.” Co-conspirators will remember the 400,000-strong rural protests back in 2002 which threatened to topple Blair…
Alongside an expected massive petition there are likely to be organised marches. One incensed farmer tells Guido:
“I look forward to bringing my tractor and other agricultural machinery to Whitehall, and maybe also to Labour’s conference in Liverpool next year. If Labour wants to close down family farming we’ll close down Labour first. They have lied through their teeth about supporting farmers and deserve to be held to account.”
Another says that this is “going
to make food more expensive for everyone. Farming is already tough, and
piling on these costs will force smaller farms out of business, which will mean
fewer local options and higher prices at the store. People need to
understand that when we struggle, the whole country feels it at the
dinner table.” The CLA now estimates that capping APR at £1 million
will affect 70,000 UK farms. The policy is predicted to have the effect
of “damaging family businesses and destabilising food security.“ £1 million is a low estimate – huge farm conglomerates will be the only ones able to absorb theincreased costs of produing food.
Rural sources say if farmers and the public get their act together we should expect to see “buckets full of shite getting dumped on parliament” before too long. Reeves may come to regret this one…
