The mind boggles - there are 60 people in BBC Verify, with assistance from off-payroll Labour activists, and they still make a mess of what they are doing. Will the BBC open another department of 60 to verify the first department's work? Time to switch off the lights at the BBC and we will all be able to see a lot better.
The fact checker did not know the difference between Acres and Hectares, One hectare = 2.47 acres. So many more than 500 farmers will affected by the new tax. ?
Oh - and by the way. If you are struggling to meet your bills thanks to Farmer Harmer Starmer and Rachel from Accounts … just put your money on the opposite position taken by BBC Verify. The easiest money you’ll ever make.
Starmer and Reeves got acres and hectares mixed up!!! I doubt they even knew there was a difference. No wonder they got the impact on farms disastrously wrong!
Even if the BBC figures were correct and only 50 farms are affected, that's not a total, oh no, that's every YEAR!! One a week! The fact that the true figures show it's far far more than that in reality is horrifying.
Don't forget that farmers have no control over land values, and that is the biggest factor in determination of the whole "estate" value. I'd also suspect that the government can get a re valuation if they suspect that the farm has been undervalued for IHT purposes.
Can the farmers not set up a LTD company with all the family members as directors? There must be some way they can get out of it the same as the MP's do it to avoid paying tax or the way the big companies do it? Can some top accountant's give any advice?
As soon as whatever journalist heard the figure of 'under 500 farms affected' that should have twigged that perhaps there was a mistake somewhere because that number is obviously too low. Whatever degrees these 'highly qualified' journalists have basic intelligence does not seem to be a requirement in obtaining them.
From what I recall on the day, the BBC coverage including 2 pages of commentary. In amongst those comments made by the BBC was that 70000 farms would be affected and the 500 was per annum. That page has now disappeared and BBC verify's later edition was entirely different,. I agree with the contributor
BBC verify shouldn't exist. If I'm at work and the boss asked me for a decision about something, I then, don't ring round to find out if I've done it right. I just do it right in the first place.
Meanwhile at the Trusted News Initiative... AND who decides what news outlets are left-leaning or right-leaning and their 'factuality' in organisations like GroundNews? What are their criteria? The BBC's? TNI's? We really need an investigative journalist to check that... now, who?
Didn’t BBC factcheckers ‘verify’ the co-inventor of MRNA technology who was also one of the most if not the most published and referenced scientists in the world who also chaired Obama’s medical research funding committee for many years? And that fact checker probably watched Casualty a few times and had a biology gcse 😆
Starmer is a multi millionaire. His oension pot is protected from paying tax. The increase pensiion scheme for Keir Starmer Q C intriduced through secondary legislation means the lifetime allowance does not apply to his contibutions from his time as DPP between 2008 and 2013.The legislation means Starmer is exempt from paying tax on pension savings over 1 million pounds. Check it out for yourself.
"BBC Verify" is an oxymoron.
😂 😂 😂 😂
I'm not sure about the 'oxy' bit....but they are certainly morons.
Verifying their own BS.
BBC needs to be unfunded it’s not impartial as it claims
I've just awarded you the medal of the blindingly obvious.
@@copferthat I'm not sure this comment helps. Why don't more people see the 'blindingly obvious'?
BBC typifies what is wrong with Britain
We want Labour outed.
Scrap the BBC
Yes. As they need a separate department to “verify” stories, we must deduce that the rest of their journalists don’t do this.
BBC Terrified. Of truth.
The mind boggles - there are 60 people in BBC Verify, with assistance from off-payroll Labour activists, and they still make a mess of what they are doing.

where's ofcom??? too busy hounding GB news i'm sure
😂 😂 😂 😂
Let The BBC Stand on it’s own 2 FEET
It knows it wouldn't survive.
Did BBC verify ever fact check Net Zero?
NUT zero!
For BBC Verify read Ministry of Truth(1984)
The fact checker did not know the difference between Acres and Hectares, One hectare = 2.47 acres. So many more than 500 farmers will affected by the new tax. ?
They have problems when it comes to arses and elbows too.
And not just 50 in total, that's every year. One a week!
Oh - and by the way. If you are struggling to meet your bills thanks to Farmer Harmer Starmer and Rachel from Accounts … just put your money on the opposite position taken by BBC Verify. The easiest money you’ll ever make.
This is how much money I've given the BBC in my life: £0.00
Still too much
bbc's verify piece on carl benjamin won an award for best work of fiction
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
I have been saying this for YEARS about BBC's Left-leaning bias. This is old news to me.
Starmer and Reeves, do they pay tax, Gold3n Pensions, freebie clothes, apartments etc etc
5 farmers committed suicide since liebours stance on iht
Stop paying your tv licence, and what would the BBC know i would not believe anything the government says
Verify unit - so all the rest is lies/ no idea
If you pay your tv licence you are a fool

Marianna Spring and Rachel Reeves have very similar CV writing 'skills'. BBC has been the media-wing of Labour for over a decade.
Get rid of Labour!
When I first heard about this BBC "verify" nonsense I literally burst out laughing.
BBC is the equivalent of CNN in the US.
I thought it was Woman Sour. How embarrassing.
Can the farmers not set up a LTD company with all the family members as directors? There must be some way they can get out of it the same as the MP's do it to avoid paying tax or the way the big companies do it? Can some top accountant's give any advice?
So it it somewhere between 500 and 70,000. And we let these people run our finances through budget policy. Unbelievable
Sell the BBC put the £3/5b into the NHS and give working people £170 a year
Never watch the BBC news.
1984 Ministry of Truth. BBC; "Don't trust your lying eyes".
Battle of the cv, rachael from accounts leads at the moment
I hate paying licence fees to the corrupt BBC
so stop paying it, I've been legally free of their 'tax' for over ten years

Agree 100%, Bliar and his side Campbell started the rot when it came to being transparency.
I have not paid for the BBC for decades; and since then they have gone from bad to worse. I would not give them the time of day. 🏴🇬🇧
They work very hard in protecting the name - Biased Broadcasting Corporation
All working for tony Blair
I can verify that I refuse to watch the BBC.
Not spending a penny of my money
Perhaps an adjustment to 'BBC Vilify'?
The person who runs verify didn’t get her CV checked, she lied and when found out it was okay! 😡
Got my vote Julia .
I’ve noticed that the BBC have been ADVERTISING Blue Sky a lot lately, as an alternative to X.
Anyone else noticed them heavily promoting this.
Another case of CVgate!
BBC doing activism not journalism

BBC only seem to be interested in APR - not much mention of BPR which has greater implications
It needs to be called the BPC B = British C = Corporation P =
We are screwed for 4 years
Why on earth should we trust the Taxpayers Alliance?
why not
Did verify check the validity of Rachel Reeves’ C.V? Of course not, it’s head Journalist Marianna Spring did the same thing 😂
BBC Verify is like a self cert mortgage
BBC verify shouldn't exist.
If I'm at work and the boss asked me for a decision about something, I then, don't ring round to find out if I've done it right. I just do it right in the first place.
Wouldn't watch Bbc tv or listen to any Bbc radio if needed news for 10 years savil news
BBC guidelines Say Pro Choice never Pro Abortion Say Anti Abortion never Pro Life.BIAS?
Is it not called Propperganda ??????
Meanwhile at the Trusted News Initiative...
AND who decides what news outlets are left-leaning or right-leaning and their 'factuality' in organisations like GroundNews? What are their criteria? The BBC's? TNI's? We really need an investigative journalist to check that... now, who?
Should be renamed BBC Villify !😂
You can't just believe - get facts before you make comments
BBC journalists must be hopeless if they need a dedicated fact-check department. As for Women's Hour, it seem to have been extended to 24/7.
BBC Villify
That disgraceful channel has been banned from my house for many years. Attenborough’s propagating a disgrace going back decades
Verify should be renamed to the Government Propaganda department, maybe renamed to Pravda
Not knowing the difference between measurements of land unbelievable Abbot done the figure work allegedly.
The BBC verify 😂😂😂😂.
Didn’t BBC factcheckers ‘verify’ the co-inventor of MRNA technology who was also one of the most if not the most published and referenced scientists in the world who also chaired Obama’s medical research funding committee for many years?

BBC very-lie
What happenig with yhe Kia and ali saga?
It’s great to see all these multi-millionaires paying their fair share finally. Go team Starmer!
Their
You mean like the 780,000 pensioners who are on the poverty line? Also asset rich doesn’t make you rich.
Starmer is a multi millionaire. His oension pot is protected from paying tax. The increase pensiion scheme for Keir Starmer Q C intriduced through secondary legislation means the lifetime allowance does not apply to his contibutions from his time as DPP between 2008 and 2013.The legislation means Starmer is exempt from paying tax on pension savings over 1 million pounds. Check it out for yourself.
@ Which means he is avoiding tax, the very same thing all of the far left witter on about being immoral.
Scratter
Just don’t pay it and if one of their goons come to the door tell them no thanks and shut the door
