SIR Keir Starmer today watered down his hated inheritance tax raid on farmers following months of furious protests.
The PM quietly announced that the threshold at which the levy applies will rise from £1m to £2.5m.
It will enable spouses to pass on £5m worth of assets between them before being hit by inheritance tax.
The partial U-turn follows more than a year of enraged protests, led by Clarkson’s Farm star, Jeremy Clarkson.
