Autumn Budget

Shadow Defra Secretary Victoria Atkins told Parliament that more farmers had recently taken their own lives following Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ Autumn Budget changes to Inheritance Tax

Arable farmer Olly Harrison said the Government needed to consider the human impact of Inheritance Tax (IHT) changes on farmers' health and well-being

The Tenant Farmers Association said the May 2025 local election results should serve as a warning to Labour that the party could lose rural seats at the next General Election if they do not change tack on changes to Inheritance Tax (IHT)

The Conservatives have so far lost 62 seats in the May 2025 local election. Nigel Farage said the results have shown the UK's two-party system is 'dead'. Is he right?

Financial Secretary to the Treasury, Lord Livermore, said while he understood the ‘strength of feeling', he did 'not necessarily accept' the survey's conclusions

Knight Frank agent said while it was not surprising many estates had not communicated their IHT plans to tenants, communication was important– even if it is to explain that an estate is reviewing matters

NFU president Tom Bradshaw has issued a rally call to councillors and regional mayors to do all they can to back British farming if they are elected

Ahead of local elections taking place on May 1, Ms Badenoch has pledged to reverse the family farm tax in her first day in office if elected as Prime Minister

Since Rachel Reeves announced that farmers will have to pay Inheritance Tax from April 2026, the industry stood up and asked for U-turn. The Government, however, is steadfast in its decision

Mr Farage said he wants to promote British farming as a 'high-end product', but he has continued to advocate for a trade deal with US President Donald Trump involving imports of lower welfare farming
