SAQIB BHATTI: Rachel Reeves’ budget is a greedy attack on Britain’s beloved heritage and history

Rachel Reeves’ Budget is a greedy attack on Britain’s beloved heritage and history.

This Christmas season, thousands of families from across the country will visit one of Britain’s historic houses.

However, analysis by Historic Houses shows that these great symbols of our countryside are now under threat from Reeves’ damaging socialist budget.

Our stately homes are deeply intertwined with our country’s great heritage; they strengthen our food security; and they attract millions of people every year.

But in an act of brazen incompetence, the Chancellor’s budget puts all this at risk.

The future looks bleak for some of our most famous and historic houses and could mean they have to close, depriving the British public of the right to enjoy these wonderful examples of culture and heritage.

Historic Homes, representing hundreds of these properties, have conducted a terrifying survey that paints a bleak picture for our stately homes.

More than half of respondents say they cannot diversify their business due to changes in estate taxes.
