Family Farm Tax

"If the Chancellor will not listen and work with the farming community to find a way forward, her battle with the countryside will simply become a long running sore. It is a very bad look for the Government"

"To trivialize such a devastating issue with an insensitive joke demonstrates a shocking lack of empathy and respect, especially coming from someone in a position of influence and leadership"

NFU has announced a 'huge banner campaign' in its bid to stop the changes to Inheritance Tax announced in the Autumn Budget

"(Farmers) who are genuinely in ill health or don't believe that they will be able to live for seven years, may well decide they shouldn't be here in April 2026. No policy should ever be published which has that unintended side effect"

"I do not think large farmers should be exempt from Inheritance Tax because no-one else is"

Howes Percival partner Stuart Maggs, said it was ‘disingenuous' to suggest the only people impacted by this policy are the ones having to pay tax, highlighting many farmers who will spend ‘thousands if not tens of thousands' on legal fees in response to the policy change

Mr Bradshaw said winning the fight on the family farm tax will only be achieved through two ways, maintaining public support and pressurising the Treasury with their own backbench MPs

The event is led by the same group of farmers who organised the 'Save Family Farms' rally outside Westminster on November 19

The next steps of the campaign include lobbying Labour MPs with on-farm accountants, huge banners and stickers, and a 'campaign moment at Lamma show in January

"57% say they trust Labour less as a result of the Inheritance Tax decision and nearly a quarter of Labour voters say they are now unhappy about the way they voted at the General Election"
