Jeremy Clarkson has labelled the UK government “hopeless” after the new budget was announced.
The former Top Gear host has moved on from cars, owning both a farm as well as a pub at two different spots in West Oxfordshire.
Mr Clarkson famously bought his Chadlington farm near Chipping Norton back in 2008 and has since made it globally known through hit Prime Video show Clarkson’s Farm
The 64-year-old also recently added a Cotswolds pub to his portfolio in the form of The Farmer’s Dog which opened following his £1,000,000 purchase of The Windmill in Asthall near Burford.

As a local business owner and farmer, Mr Clarkson had his say today (Wednesday, October 30) following the revealing of Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ first budget.
“Rachel Reeves. I literally daren’t comment,” he said on X, formerly Twitter.
“We have a new government. It’s turning out to be hopeless.”
He later added: "Farmers. I know that you have been shafted today but please don’t despair.
"Just look after yourselves for five short years and this shower will be gone."
