But ……. IHT 🙄
Will this get the same media coverage as IHT changes?
The government paid £343m last week to boost the rural economy and improve food security.
31,000 farmers benefited.
Next year, changes will be brought in which help farmers even more and other plans will support farming and rural communities.

I went to buy a Jacuzzi today & was told I picked a great time because I wouldn’t be able to afford it once Trump’s tariff kick in.
Then went to pharmacy & was told my insurance no longer covers Rite Aid - the local pharmacy I’ve always used. The woman next to me said “that’s why that guy got shot“
