Jeremy Clarkson has been at the forefront of the protest against changes to agricultural inheritance tax

Jeremy Clarkson has revealed his true incentive for purchasing a farm - indicating he thought it would offer a "better PR story if I said I bought it to avoid paying tax". The mind behind the immensely popular Amazon Prime series, 'Clarkson's Farm', ignored medical advice to join a protest against changes to agricultural inheritance tax implemented by the Labour government, marching with numerous farmers in London on Tuesday.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves has proclaimed that from April 2025, combined business and agricultural assets exceeding £1 million would encounter a 50 per cent inheritance tax reprieve, effectively settling at a rate of 20 per cent, reports the Express. He expressed that although he doesn't see himself as a farmer, he believes his role is to "report on farming" and highlight the issue of rural poverty within the sector. "One of the problems we have on the show is we're not showing the poverty either, because obviously on Diddly Squat, there isn't any poverty," he said.

On Friday, Sir Keir Starmer reaffirmed his government's commitment to supporting farmers and pensioners amidst discussions on tax reforms and the decision to restrict winter fuel payments to only the most financially vulnerable pensioners.
