政府在最后一刻放弃了农场继承税计划

政府突然放弃农场继承税计划,将门槛降低至250万英镑

英国政府出人意料地修订了其对继承农场征收20%税款的计划,将拟议的门槛从100万英镑提高到250万英镑。该决定是在议员们离开议会进入圣诞休假之后宣布的,之前农民和一些工党后座议员施加了强大的压力,他们认为原来的政策将不公平地针对家庭农场。

根据环境部发布的声明,修订后的计划旨在保护更多普通家庭农场免受税收的影响。然而,批评者认为新的门槛仍然不足以解决所有受影响企业的担忧。政府最初的提议是在去年的预算中宣布的,计划从2026年4月开始对价值超过100万英镑的继承农业资产征收20%的税款,实际上终止了自1980年代以来一直存在的100%税收减免。

政府的让步是农民的一大胜利,农民已经抗议这些变化几个月了。在上个月的预算中,农民上街表达了他们对该政策的反对,警告说这将导致家庭农场的出售和农村生计的丧失。政府决定将门槛提高到250万英镑被视为一种妥协,但许多农民仍然对税收对他们的企业的影响持怀疑态度。

修订后的计划也引发了一些工党后座议员的担忧,他们认为政府提高门槛的决定不足以解决所有受影响企业的担忧。“虽然提高门槛是一个正确的方向,但它仍然让许多家庭农场容易受到税收的影响,”工党发言人说。“我们将继续推动一个更全面地解决方案,以保护所有农民的利益。”

政府决定修订计划得到了一些农业团体的欢迎,他们认为这是政府对该行业担忧的认可。“我们很高兴政府听取了我们的担忧并采取措施解决它们,”国家农民联盟的一位发言人说。“然而,我们将继续与政府合作,以确保修订后的计划是公平有效的。”

当前的计划状态是修订后的250万英镑门槛将从2026年4月开始实施,就像最初计划的那样。然而,政府承诺在未来几年内审查该政策,以确保它有效和公平地运作。随着对该计划的辩论继续,一个事情很明显:政府决定修订门槛是农场继承税持续争论中的一个重大发展。

在一份声明中,政府发言人说:“我们听取了农民和后座议员的担忧,并采取措施解决它们。我们相信修订后的计划是一个公平有效的解决方案,既保护了家庭农场的利益,又为政府带来了收入。”政府决定修订该计划是游说和倡导力量的见证,也提醒人们农民和农村社区的利益在权力走廊中被认真对待。

Waymo Robotaxis Stranded by Blackout: What Went Wrong

Waymo's robotaxis got stuck during a recent San Francisco blackout due to a software design that treated disabled traffic lights as four-way stops, prompting a surge in confirmation checks that exacerbated congestion. The company is addressing this issue with a software update that will provide its self-driving system with specific power outage context, allowing it to navigate more decisively. This update aims to improve Waymo's robotaxis' ability to handle widespread outages, reducing the likelihood of similar congestion in the future.

European Startup Market Stalls, Still Searching for Momentum

Despite the European startup market's high energy at the recent Slush conference, data reveals that the region's venture capital market has yet to fully recover from the 2022 and 2023 global reset, with 2025 investments on pace to match or slightly exceed 2023 and 2024 totals. However, signs of a potential turnaround are emerging, driven by homegrown AI startups and notable exits like Klarna's recent sale. Meanwhile, European venture capital firms are struggling to raise funds, with a projected 50-60% decline in the first nine months of 2025, highlighting a key area of concern for the region's startup ecosystem.

A seismic shift in public perception has taken hold in 2025, as data centers, once invisible infrastructure, have become a focal point of controversy and activism across the US. With over 142 activist groups in 24 states opposing data center developments, concerns over environmental impact, AI usage, and rising electricity bills are driving a populist uprising. The rapid growth of the AI and cloud computing industries, with construction spending on data centers skyrocketing 331% since 2021, has brought these previously behind-the-scenes facilities into the spotlight.

Bangladesh Opposition Leader Returns After 17-Year Exile

Bangladesh's main opposition party, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), is preparing a massive show of support for its leader Tarique Rahman, who is set to return home after nearly 17 years in exile. Rahman's expected arrival from London on Thursday comes as the BNP regains momentum ahead of the country's parliamentary elections scheduled for February, where the party appears poised to dominate the race. The opposition's resurgence has raised concerns about the volatile political situation in Bangladesh, where power has traditionally alternated between the BNP and the ruling Awami League.
