\\As farmers protest in Westminster, PM tells GB News: ‘My first job was on the farm. I grew up in the countryside//

I wonder how long before Reeves says something similar

"I worked on a farm a was the head pig semen extractor"

//Jeremy Moody from the Central Association of Agricultural Valuers, an association of 3,000 professionals who value farm estates, said: “For ministers to see an APR claim as the sum total of a farm is to miss the point that APR is only about land and buildings, leaving machinery, livestock, deadstock, other farming assets and diversified activities for BPR … The lack of data given for BPR claims is concerning when we seek an informed debate.”

So even the Guardian is reporting that the 500 a year figure is incorrect as it ignores the value of machinery, livestock etc. which will bost teh estate value and hence the IHT due

Perhaps Reeves worked on a farm too.  Maybe that's where the pair of them learnt the art of milking.

Was it George Orwell's Animal Farm? or his Chzech indoctrination camp.

No, she was a complaints Clerk at HBOS wasnt she?

And even the Environment secretary "City Steve" visited only one farm since labourt came to power (probably in his Lord Ali £500 wellies).

That was meant to be a warming not a template.  Someone needs to tell SIR 2TK.
