Jeremy Clarkson bought the Farmer's Dog pub last year. The Clarkson's Farm star admitted that he had faced a series of total disasters behind the scenes as he skewered Rachel Reeves for "hammering farmers and pub owners". The 64-year-old issused his fury about the problems he is currently facing with his extremely popular public house.

Despite hundreds of visitors who have descended on his Oxfordshire pub he is admittedly "losing money". Jeremy has laid blame on the "strange and terrible Labour government" most notably with the chancellor. Writing in his latest column for The Sun, the former Grand Tour presenter admitted that despite serving five or six hundred people a day with either lunch or dinner he has battled unfortunate news.

He said: "And now, thanks to the strange and terrible government that some of you elected, things are about to get worse. Because on top of the stratospheric costs of energy, we now have stupid eco taxes on the beer we sell.

"The brewery — which is mine as well — must now pay 7p to recycle every bottle it sells.

"That’s a tax of 84p for every case of 12 bottles, which is paid to the council to do what it’s supposed to be doing anyway. But doesn’t."

Jeremy's problems don't stop there as he continued: "Then you’ve got the rise in the minimum wage, a rise in business rates and worst of all, a rise in National Insurance. Which means publicans are basically being fined for taking someone off the dole and giving them a job."

The new changes to minimum wage and National Insurance has resulted in Jeremy having to fork out £4,800 each month to cover his pub wages.

"The awful Rachel Reeves is hitting farmers and business people over the head with a hammer," he fumed. "But she’s using a machine gun on publicans."

Jeremy has shared his only solution is to increase the price of beer and fears the price for pub goers will soon have to go up again.

In addition he has been forced to scrap a Sunday carvery which cost £20 because "that’s simply not doable any more".

Jeremy has previously addressed the future of Britain's pubs as they continue to close and the public grapple with a cost-of-living crisis.
