Should preferential treatment be given to farmers re Inheritance tax?

 My answer to the article in Conservativehome today about inheritance tax:

There is a good case for reducing Inheritance tax but is it fair that preferential rights should be given to a particular set of people. Taxation should treat all people equally. Perhaps if you asked the question "Are you prepared to pay more tax so that farmers and owners of small businesses paid less tax?" you might get a different answer to your survey questions!

“Seriousness” may not be enough to maintain Conservative Party unity

Conservativehome article on 30th January 2025

 My Response to the following article:

Unless the Conservative Party scrap the Net Zero policy and withdraw from ECHR it is toast! Announce these policy changes now and the Party might be saved. Don't, then watch Reform take over as the main opposition Party!
