Description

Keir Starmers government backtracks on inheritance tax plans for farmers, raising the threshold from one million to two point five million pounds, following protests and pushback from Labour MPs in rural areas. The original reforms, aimed at bringing in five hundred million pounds a year, were criticized for potentially making family farms unviable. The National Farmers Union president welcomes the change, but rural anger persists.
