Taxes

In a post on X, the National Farmers Union has suggested a proposed family farm tax will affect 75%, not 27%, of working farms in the UK.

Meanwhile, the government has communicated their intention to use the tax as a way to target wealthy landowners to fix public services.

However, it’s a state of affairs caused by cabinet ministers and their public servants, and not by any private landowner.

This type of reasoning suggests mismanagement is corrected by creating – or raising – taxes, and not by fixing the rotten processes at the heart of government.
