set to gather in london for are set to gather in london for are set to gather in london for a rally against the government's agricultural policies, which they say put the future of family farms at risk and threatens food security. the nfu is organising the rally , which is organising the rally, which will take place on the 19th of this month. fears have grown that labour's tax and spend budget will fail to boost growth, with bonds, shares and the value of the pound all falling well. farmer clive bailey had this to say to martin daubney earlier on they're talking about potentially strike action, not letting food leave the farm. >> we all know how just in time type supply chains work now, how fragile they can be. i think that could very easily lead to the kind of panic buying that we saw with fuel, and we saw with toilet roll , saw with fuel, and we saw with toilet roll, empty saw with fuel, and we saw with toilet roll , empty shelves saw with fuel, and we saw with toilet roll, empty shelves and, you know, yeah, i think most people could go longer without toilet roll than they can without food. can't they? >> well, the secretary of state for rural affairs, steve reed, has accused the wealthy of buying up huge estates to avoid paying buying up huge estates to avoid paying tax, before adding that small family farms will be

protected. tonight, the telegraph are reporting that labour mps want the treasury to consider raising the £1 million threshold at which the tax is appued threshold at which the tax is applied , after the reaction from applied, after the reaction from constituents, the chancellor has also defended her budget earlier on. >> economic and fiscal stability are the number one priority for this government, and that's what we achieved in the budget on wednesday, a robust set of fiscal rules within a framework which gets debt down as our share of the economy, but crucially , within three years, crucially, within three years, something the previous government never achieved. >> and finally, ahead of the new leader of the conservative party being announced on saturday morning, the financial times is reporting that james cleverly won't sit on the front bench for the new leader. mr cleverly was one of six candidates initially in the contest . one of six candidates initially in the contest. he has now reportedly said he will return to the backbenches when robert jenrick or kemi badenoch take up the role. the new tory leader is set to be announced at around 11

financial lifeline, the express winter fuel pensioners now facing drastic cutbacks. just like being one a prince, isn't it? the guardian trump's strategy to challenge us election defeat revealed and the daily star saves us with sea of auensin daily star saves us with sea of aliens in uranus. lovely. right. let's take a look at the front pagesin let's take a look at the front pages in closer detail to the telegraph. leo, the telegraph leads with elon musk, says prime minister is wrong on farm tax raid . raid. >> obviously elon musk grew up in south africa, so he's familiar with farms being taken off farmers and how that can result in starvation . and he's result in starvation. and he's right on this. there's a lot of people. there's growing anger across the country, not just from farmers but from people who eat food, who are concerned about where their food is going to come from. because a lot of the food we eat comes from from farms, farms in the uk. and if we're dependent on farms overseas, that's going to expose us to risk just as being dependent on putin for oil and gas did. and the farm tax rate

is insane. so they're they're going to impose a 20% inheritance tax on on farms that are worth over. i think it's £1 million, which you know, people might say, well, you've got £1 million. that means you're rich. no, the farm is worth £1 million. you could be making, you know, as little as 10,000, £20,000 off that farm. this, this farm gets handed down through the generations. the farmers are the stewards of the land. but labour hate the idea of private property. they hate the idea of family businesses. they want everything to be subsumed into the state or run by their cronies. in big business. bill gates has met with keir starmer and he's bought up a lot of farmland in the usa. so this is the politics of envy and bitterness that we've seen from socialists in the past. and it's possibly going to lead to massive protests. the farmers are saying, you know, they're going to get their tractors out and drive down to westminster and spray it with manure. >> that's the worry, isn't it? because when they drive to places, my word, they go slowly. and they don't. just when they get to a roundabout. tractors don't just do a lap of the roundabout to let a little bit

through. so this is you're right. this is very serious. yeah. nick. i mean, even people in labour, even if they like the idea, they're saying that the amounts wrong. it's the same thing we're saying with the winter fuel allowance. the concept might be all right, but you're bringing it into too cheaply. a million is barely buys you half a farm. >> yes. and i've now got the image of just thousands of tractors very slowly descending on westminster. it's hard to get out of my head. >> as i said, as i said yesterday, you don't want to alienate people that get up very early and own shotguns and own tractors. but yeah, absolutely. steve. also, they're alienating their own constituents because as they say here, around 100 labour mps are in rural communities. so it actually doesn't even work out for labour themselves. i think it's such a weird one to attack people who make the food, you know, who are just loved by everyone . except just loved by everyone. except apparently rachel reeves just seems like a terrible strategy . seems like a terrible strategy. and you've annoyed musk, the richest man in the world again, with the biggest social media platform. >> they keep annoying that guy on that, though, is surely he should be busy. he's got like five massive companies that are doing big things, and you've still got time to see what's. keir starmer, who still cares about the uk farming community. >> i'm amazed about that. he's like sending off a rocket, going, oh, what's reeves done

now? >> he's missed the missed the launch because he's trying to troll. yeah, yeah. fair enough . troll. yeah, yeah. fair enough. >> i've seen leftie commentators say like only 20% of family run varne family run farms would be affected by this. it's like, oh, so it's fine for 20% of family run farms to go out of business. like, are you insane? it's just, i mean, this is the fabric of the countryside is already quite, quite fragile. the economics don't really stack up. so laying this on top is going to destroy it. >> kind of like stalin going after the kulaks. isn't it? they hate people with their own little businesses. do you think they just want one big like state farm? yeah. we all sort of queue up and get our bit of peasants. >> one potato. i mean, i'd love to see one example of socialism resulting in more and better food for people. >> but to push back on this, though, they're not taxing all farms, solar farms, wind farms , farms, solar farms, wind farms, they're loving a bit of that. so if you get if you've got a farm, maybe do that with it. >> anybody who donated if you if you if you're an eco baron like dale vince who donated a lot of money to the labour party, then yeah, you're going to be fine. what about the band? >> the farm? are they being taxed?

>> probably not. these days. i don't think they're barely even making the vat threshold. the to the daily mail. nick. what they got? >> they've got charles cuts off andrew's financial lifeline. so this is sad news because we all liked andrew. great guy, great quy- liked andrew. great guy, great guy. i met him and he i didn't mean on an island. i didn't meet him. that was just a bad half half trump impression. so he had this 1 million half trump impression. so he had this1 million a half trump impression. so he had this 1 million a year fund, which is you've got to be gutted to have your personal allowance cut off. and it's 1 million a yeah cut off. and it's 1 million a year. i mean, that is that's that's 1520
