Family Farm Tax

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"

"I urge farmers to continue making their voices heard"

Welsh Conservatives said the family farm tax will be 'detrimental to the future of farming in Wales', warning that food security will be 'threatened and food prices will rise'

"It's a brilliant idea, and I think we can go wider than this by getting the message across to workplaces too"

"There will be a need for a rapid and concerted effort from the leaders in the rural and farming sectors to hold the Government to account on ensuring that the gulf between urban and rural support does not become even wider"

"Labour have not thought through this policy"
