Labour injected £343m into farming in the first week in December.

The cash is part of a total £5bn planned investment in the countryside.

After listening to the farmers' arguments about inheritance tax, I have changed my mind.

When I first heard about the inheritance tax changes, I thought they were fair.

Now I am convinced they haven't changed enough. Make the wealthy landowners pay 40% IHT like the rest of us and scrap the £1 million exemption.

As far as I've heard they have no good arguments that don't come from a massive sense of entitlement.

Surely farm land providing tax breaks inherently puts up the price tag on all that land. As Clarkson has said, to avoid #IHT the rich will just plonk that money in a fund instead, but wouldn't that mean more availability of land for real farmers??

This is very well argued by @RichardJMurphy: farmers are right to protest about the economics of farming, but to protest about the IHT changes spectacularly misses the point.

The economic problems with farming lie elsewhere, and that's where farmers should focus their protests.

Dear media, can you please stop referring to the people protesting today as "farmers"?

Most farmers won't be affected by the IHT changes.

The word you're looking for is "wealthy landowners".

Yet another example of the subtle way in which the media work to protect the interests of the wealthy and privileged.

"Part of the problem is that rural Britain has never escaped the cultural trappings of feudalism."

Good stuff from Will Hutton on inheritance tax and farmers, explaining that while some farmers will lose out, other farmers will be winners, with likely benefits to the farming sector overall.
