Removing the tax break on aviation fuel so it is charged at the same rate that British drivers pay would boost Treasury coffers by £5.9 billion (2023 figures). Inheritance tax collections are £7 billion. The government could quite easily cancel inheritance tax for everyone if

Wasn't it the labour party who spent the last 14 years saying what a disaster austerity was? Now they are doing the same but on steroids! plus all their anti-growth policies means they have pulled in less income. It's a complete farce!

Commentators on the SFI closure debacle busy saying that it will be max input max output farming now. Won't be here on my proposed SFI areas as we struggled to produce a viable crop on that area. It will be left unmanaged, no good for food or environment.

theguardian.com/commentisfree/… Not sure this issue is going to go away. Feeling slightly smug that we haven't used it for over 20 years due to worries about contaminants. No one likes a smarty pants though 😂

Does anyone else see the irony of recalling parliament to save the steel industry and 2700 jobs while the government is willfully destroying farming and the supply industry that supports hundreds of thousands of jobs? Critical industry #youcanteatsteel

Come on BBC News (UK) time to reiterate the American secretary of state for Agriculture who told our government to stop being so hard on British Farmers as we are the backbone of a nation. She gets it, let's hold The Labour Party to account! This destruction of an industry has to stop!

Big news today as the EFRA committee has called on the Government to pause the roll out of the family farm tax. It’s about time ministers listened to farmers - and that starts by admitting they were wrong, listening to the EFRA committee, and ditching the family farm tax.
