I think they're saying farmers should pay 20% IHT on estates of £1M + while everyone else has to pay 40% on estates of £320k. I'm finding it difficult to understand how you can interpret this to mean 'farms have to die'?

Just watched Badenochs first effort at PMQ's bit underwhelming, expected more. Why was she leaning on the lecturn like an oap on oxygen pushing a super market trolly?

[jl5006] 06/11/2024 17:32

The idea that farms have to die is madness.
Ppl dont go into farming business. Y cos there are no weekends.
Not all farms fall into the IHT bracket - so averaging is meaningless.
PPL dont buy into farming.
BTW - similar idea the Cervantes windmills will save the planet - just a pipe dream.
Y do these oil and other protesters not comprehend that our poxey little industry does not need to be stopped and result in us importing all the steel? windmills for some stupid milliband / treason madness?

Average farm business income is £76 k pa. Why should they inherit the farm IHT free & mortgage free?

The average profitability of UK farms varies greatly, but here are some recent figures:
2021/22
The average Farm Business Income (FBI) across all UK farm types was £72,000, with 10% of farms failing to make a positive FBI. 

2022/23
The average FBI across all farm types in Great Britain was £86,000, with 17% of farms failing to make a positive FBI. 

2023/24
The average FBI for general cropping farms is expected to fall by 58% to £53,000. 

Factors that influence farm profitability

Farmers a special case - our need for food.
Never mind the benefit they have IHT wise.
Just consider the reduction in size of every major farm because IHT will mean the reduction in size because of the land that will have to be sold.
The last clots of a Govt destroyed our energy needs with punitive taxes - we now import at a huge cost.
Quango energy stuffed everyone with their stupid green agenda - Gov again - their idea we pay and the fools that thought labour was for the ppl can now see that - can they- that we pay and not the LEC coys for their madness.
Rewilding another idiot of an idea by the last lot.
Destroy our food and we die.

Another lesson for Labour. Dont take a position on other vountries elections until results are known

As for Ukraine.
'Trump has decided to end the Ukraine war'.

America tried to sign up Ukraine as a client state and a member of American led Nato.
Right on Russias border after a close 300 year relationship.
Putin responded, bloodshed.

Trump is smart enough to know that is crazy, so he will stop it.
Maybe worth trying for but not worth the effort.

[careful] 06/11/2024 12:54

Contrarian.
Big men stand up when little men sit down.

Tongue in cheek about bitcoin.
Trumps win has made the World an interesting place again.
Zelensky must be worried.

Trump is anti war and will contain the hawks.
WW3 is off the menu.

I wonder how much difference a new President can make.

Doubtful that Trump will carry out his promises any more than Starmer will.
Bond markets rule, interesting to see bond yield are up in America.

Bond yields are up, so is the Dow.

[scruff1] 06/11/2024 12:33

Starmer wins the UK election. Crefuls house is more expensive to sell.
Trump wins the US election. Careful sells his house. mmmm

[the ploppolator] 06/11/2024 12:33

rubbish

anything which isnt fiat will rally.

amount of public sector debt will see bitcoin and commodities rally

[skinny] 06/11/2024 12:26

US futures +3.1%, FTSE +0.9%!

[hardup1] 06/11/2024 12:22

Well the "Trump bounce" euphoria for Lloyds is quickly fizzling out!

[careful] 06/11/2024 12:07

bitcoin at $75,000 because of pro crypto Trump.
crypto spivs financed trumps election.

Sometimes the market presents a gift.

I will probably sell my house and short worthless Bitcoin with the cash.
Wait ten year and you will make a fortune.

[hardup1] 06/11/2024 11:24

BoE MPC rate setting meeting tomorrow, how will the markets react to that? Toss a coin.

[geckotheglorious] 06/11/2024 11:06

Kemi Badenoch is a woke leftieK




Tories wont be getting my vote back any time soon

[geckotheglorious] 06/11/2024 11:02

Psycho

See you and raise you when it comes to detesting the Left.

[careful] 06/11/2024 10:52

Political correctness, woke suffered a defeat last night.

We wonder if he really will deport illegal immigrants, stop the proxy war in Ukraine, slow down the massacre in Gaza, 100% tariffs etc things he promised.

It will be interesting, the relationship with Starmer, Lammy.
No doubt of little interest to Trump, we are not an important country anymore.
But we cannot fall out with America, could it push us closer to the EU. if we suffer tariffs?

Also his chummy relationship with Putin will be closely watched.

[utrickytrees] 06/11/2024 10:51

Scruff I'm not a Labour supporter but neither will I dismiss everything they come up with in a partizan manner...that would make me little better than Arja.
