Jeremy Clarkson has shared his grim prediction for the future of farming in Britain as he unleashed his fury on the new Government land grab policy.

The 64-year-old writer and broadcaster compared the Planning & Infrastructure Bill to the actions of brutal Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe.

Deputy Prime Minister announced this policy that month that will give councils the authority to target fields to build new hospitals, schools and homes through compulsory purchase orders.

The new law will also allow local authorities to purchase land for its current value rather than the price given for developed land, leaving farmers with only a fraction of the expected return.

Rayner hailed the “seismic reforms” that would “help builders get shovels in the ground quicker to build more homes, and the vital infrastructure we need to improve transport links and make Britain a clean energy superpower to protect bill payers.”

However, Britain’s rural community fear the move will be a further blow following the change to inheritance tax that comes into force in April 2026.

Among them was Clarkson, who fumed the latest Government move could be the death knell for British farming.

Writing in his column for The Sun, the former Top Gear host blasted the policy as a means to “build wind turbines or houses for the dinghy people” at the expense of farmers.

“I could wake up one morning in the very near future to be told by West Oxfordshire District Council that they now own my farm,” he feared.

Predicting what he would get in return, Clarkson reminded readers of the name of his farm: Diddly Squat.

He compared the “truly astonishing” policy to those of Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe – who cause chaos in the African nation through a brutal policy of land confiscation.

The 64-year-old lamented that it was “without doubt” the end for British farming.

“Farming will go the way of mining, shipbuilding and the steel plants,” he predicted.

In response, Clarkson called on Britain’s agriculturalists “to become French” – learning from the Gallic taste for protests.

He warned farmers against “spraying slurry all over the Labour Party’s rural offices” that may incur that wrath of “obergruppen-fuhrer Starmer”.

However, the former Top Gear presenter jokes protesters could: “Burn every single avocado and every pint of almond milk that comes through a British port. “

“That would get their attention in ­Islington,” he added.

Clarkson ensured readers that he could not lend his name to such an act in a newspaper but hinted he would not necessarily oppose it.
