Your old mate reckons if they fall short in the election, they can take their ill-conceived land value tax as "really bad" and saying it could cost some farmers five times more than Labour's proposed methane tax.

TOP seem oblivious to the fact that imposing another tax on farmers would only put more pressure on family farms and make food production more expensive.
