Kirstie Allsopp slams Rachel Reeves as she demands inheritance tax U-turn: 'So wrong'

Kirstie Allsopp shares behind-the-scenes 'chaos' of TV show

Kirstie Allsopp has slammed Labour over the controversial farming inheritance issue. The TV presenter has waded into the row again by siding with farmers and suggesting that she will be campaigning on their behalf.

Family farms will be hit with inheritance tax after the Chancellor announced plans to scale back agricultural relief on land up to £1million, earlier this week.

Taking to X, Allsopp wrote on Tuesday, November 5, "I was brought up in the country, I worked at @countrylivinguk for 4 yrs & I’ve spent the last 25 yrs criss crossing the country by train.

"Right now I’m heading to Leeds, I see what farmers do every day, I understand the nature of their work & it is wrong to impose IHT on farms."

She added: "It’s clear ⁦Rachel Reeves just got this wrong, it happens to us all, but the sooner it’s reversed the better."

Ministers have been facing backlash from farmers over the so-called tractor tax of imposing inheritance death duties on family farms worth more than £1m.

This comes on top of a lack of extra funds for farming in Rachel Reeves’ announcements last week and the announcement of extra costs through increases in national insurance for employers and a 6.7 per cent rise in the minimum wage.

Kirstie did not hold her tongue on those either. Last month she slammed Reeves' first Autumn Budget Statement. The UK's first female chancellor announced a number of surprise moves, including a freeze on fuel duty next year.

The Channel 4 star launched a scathing rant against Rachel, describing her decisions as "appalling."

She wrote on X: "Rachel Reeves had f***ed all farmers, she has destroyed their ability to pass farms on to their children, and broken the future of all our great estates, it is an appalling decisions which shows the government has ZERO understanding of the what matters to rural voters."

In a separate post, she typed: "When Osborne added 3% SDLT to so called “second homes” he had no concept of how many ordinary people had a share in another property through divorce, helping out children or elderly parents etc.

"It’s clear that Reeves knows even less, upping it to 5% is moronic."

Kirstie, who works on the property show Location, Location, Location, has been very outspoken about first-time buying and prices of properties.

She has also helped hundreds of keen buyers find their dream homes over the years alongside Phil Spencer in the popular long-running series.
