Jeremy Clarkson says budget was a 'hammer blow' to farmers

Amazon Prime favourite Clarkson's Farm has highlighted the importance of UK farmers as they issued a stern warning. In a four-word Instagram post they shared something that would impact those who enjoy a pint of beer.

The programmes official social media page shared a post with a yellow background and black text. It had an image of a pint with the words: "No farmers, no beer" underneath.

The caption of the post read: "We can never let this happen. #backbritishfarming."

Fans of the Jeremy Clarkson led show flocked to the comments to share their support. One simply wrote: "Absobloominlutely."

Another added: "Support from Leicestershire," while a third added that it wouldn't be just beer that's impacted, writing: "No wine no Dutch barn vodka no whisky etc."

Former Top Gear star, Jeremy, 64, has not shied away from backing farmers. Back in November, when thousands of farmers gathered to show their dissatisfaction with the changes to the inheritance tax that were announced at the Autumn Budget, the TV presenter joined the picket line.

While there, he urged the Labour government to "please back down". He added: “If you make a mistake, we all do, and they have, be big enough to say, ‘we made a mistake here,’ and then back down.”

During a speech at the rally, Jeremy continued: "I’m here to support the farmers. It’s that simple, because they need all the help they can get really, even from me.

"For the sake of everybody here, and for all the farmers who are stuck at home today, paralysed by a fog of despair over what’s been forced upon them, I beg of the government to be big, to accept that this was rushed through, it wasn’t thought out and it’s a mistake.

“That’s the big thing to do. Admit it and back down.”

Co-star Kaleb Cooper also admitted that the government's changes would impact him, too. He told The Times: “I haven’t got a farm to pass down, but I’ve got a business that I’ve grown since I was 16 years old. So to pass that onto my child now, I’m going to get taxed on that.

“And actually, can he afford to take that business on? If he has to then sell two tractors, for example, to pay that tax bill, is that going to be unprofitable to actually make sure he can have a livelihood off that business?”
