Jeremy Clarkson, 64, has launched into a fresh attack on the Labour Government and Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ new tax on farmers.
In her autumn budget, Reeves announced an end on inheritance tax exemptions for farmers passing on their properties.
Starting in 2026, the so-called “tractor tax” will see farmers with agricultural assets worth more than £1 million be slapped with a new inheritance tax.
Farmers around the country have argued the measures will further endanger family farms that already operate on tight profit margins.
The tax continues to provoke anger and protest across the country, with various agricultural groups speaking out.
Clarkson has been outspoken about the policy and appeared to support the farmer’s protests held in Westminster last year.

Now, the former Top Gear presenter has unleashed another broadside against the Labour Government as he blasts the “Marxists” – in particular, Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
“It’s ingrained in his DNA that property is theft,” Clarkson slammed in his new column for The Sun.
He accused Starmer of believing the Government “should own and run everything. Especially the land.”
Repeating a claim made previously, the 64-year-old feared the Government would “ethnically cleanse” the countryside in the process.

Along with “new towns of immigrants” he had previously predicted, Clarkson imagined a countryside bereft of farm animals but home to huge solar panel farms.
The opinionated presenter suggested such a transformation would delight “eco-vegan Marxists” and Ed Miliband, the Energy and Climate Change minister.
However, Clarkson also issued a stark warning to those enthusiastic about a hypothetical “state-owned countryside”.
“Nothing run by the Government ever works properly,” he raged.
The 64-year-old rattled off a series of government failings including “an NHS that doesn’t function at all” and “a Border Force which exists only to give illegal immigrants biscuits”.
He also slammed the parlous state of Britain’s armed forces, infrastructure and “a police service that’s only bothered about crimes involving hate speech”.

“Literally, everything they ever do is useless,” Clarkson repeated about the government.
The former Grand Tour host concluded on the sad prediction that most people inheriting farms would be forced to sell up in order to keep up with the new tax burden.
“And who will grow our food then?” he concluded soberly.
