Clearly Badenoch didn’t listen to the farmers complaints, or did, and felt they were without merit!

Wouldn’t he have to have achieved something in this role that he could say he was proud of doing, before he resigned?

Dear editors who are commenting on Kemi’s latest wheeze…. Cutting inheritance tax does NOT make me better off!! I’m dead. It just makes my successors richer than they were, but for no effort on their behalf.

Not sure Primark is a good example over here either!

Trump says he deserves Nobel Peace Prize but has doubts he will get it Maybe we should ask the tens of thousands of dead women and children from Iran and Gaza whether he’s a peace maker or a war monger?

Whatever she intended with this move, it certainly didn’t accommodate the farmers expectations.

She’s completely forgotten that the farmers were certainly promise exemption from IHT….. maybe she has decided they won’t vote for her anyway, or that repealing the tax only benefits twats like Clarkson!

There may be one hidden in her shadow cabinet somewhere, but I don’t see Philp, Whateley, Griffin or even Tugenhat cutting the grade…

Someone has to tell her what her policies will be, and it certainly isn’t going to be Chris Philp, is it now?

I bet the research that said it was the most disliked tax is as flakey as hell. Sponsored by billionaires and large scale farmers??
