"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

“We must leave the EU to control our borders and stop mass immigration,” they said.
And it was the same people who said that who were then in government.
Brexit has simply led to the reverse of everything it said it was about.

To be clear:
It's £1m untaxed, plus £325k of standard tax free inheritance.
You can double that if the farmer is married.
So farmers can hand down £2.65m tax free, and their kids pay 20% on everything else.
Tax on your job is 40% over £50k
"Land owner" is not a job

This will affect fewer than 500 farms, and the IFS says farms are "still more generously treated than they used to be in decades past"
It's just closing a loophole that's been used to avoid inheritance tax, and which pushes up farm rents and makes it harder for 76% if farmers to make a profit.

Jeff Bezos has completely shredded the integrity of the Washington Post. We can no longer trust that they will not spike a story critical of or damaging to Trump in order to protect Bezos' business interests from retribution. Editorial independence was just incinerated.
