‘Welcome U-Turn’: Farage Says Labor Party Buckled to Farmers, Inheritance Tax Threshold Increased

Описание: Nigel Farage reacts to what he calls a “very welcome U-turn” by the government on the farm tax threshold, saying ministers finally buckled under pressure from farmers and rural MPs. Speaking bluntly, Farage argues the original proposal — which set the threshold at £1 million — would have devastated small, family-run farms across the UK.

Farage describes the policy as an “abomination”, warning it would have forced farming families to sell off land and made long-established farms unprofitable. He recounts meeting tearful families in rural communities, fearful that generations of work would be undone by a 20% tax burden.

According to Farage, sustained and peaceful protests by the farming community, combined with growing rebellion inside Labour’s own ranks, forced the Chancellor’s hand. He claims between 70 and 100 Labour MPs representing rural and semi-rural seats warned the government to reverse course or face defeat in future budget votes.

While welcoming the decision to raise the threshold to £2.5 million, Farage cautions that British farmers remain under threat from other policies, including future animal welfare regulations and proposals that could put UK agriculture at a disadvantage compared to European competitors. He also criticises moves that could restrict traditional countryside activities, arguing they reflect a broader attack on rural Britain.

Farage frames the U-turn as a rare Christmas victory for embattled rural communities, crediting farmers for standing firm and forcing politicians to listen. He concludes by urging continued vigilance, warning that without constant pressure, policymakers will once again ignore the voices of those who work the land.
