'Endless cow being milked dry!' Farmer left FURIOUS after Labour's fresh blow - 'Not in Britain'

Speaking to GB News, farmer Olly Harrison said: "It's just attacking us again and again, every day. There's always something new.

"I mean, it's a bit like the inheritance tax debate. The land has value in the right place, but to steal that value in a grab to try and kick-start an economy?

He added: "The other thing is, these people coming in, these people who want to live in these homes, they've still got to eat."

Later, Martin Daubney said: "We need new hospitals. We have terrible waiting lists. We have a shortage of GP surgeries and schools.

"Once again, farmers are expected to pick up the brunt. Olly Harrison, does it just feel like you're an endless cow being milked dry?"

Harrison said: "There's nothing to give; that is the problem. What we call 'urban fringe,' which is where I farm, faces challenges.

"The challenges we face being on the urban fringe, whether it's people trespassing, setting fires, or motorbikes driving over it, these people who have the difficult land to farm are going to be hit the hardest, and it's just not right.

"I mean, if they want to build a hospital, a school, or houses, that's fine. But why do they have to steal the land?

"You know, this is what happens in other countries, not Britain."

Under the new legislation, councils would be able to pay only the current value of land, rather than what it could be worth if developed.

Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner said the government would create "the biggest building boom in a generation".

This latest blow comes amid growing anger from farming communities over inheritance tax changes announced in last year's budget.
