To everyone who took to the streets, who wrote to their MP, or who joined in the protests - thank you. This is a significant step forward and will protect many more family farms and family businesses from crippling tax bills that targeted generations of British farming and industry. This has only happened because we stood up and refused to be ignored. However, let’s not forget that for over a year, our farmers have had huge anxiety and uncertainty hanging over their heads due to this policy, despite the entire sector warning Labour that their plan was wrong. This has had real-life effects already - creating chaos, fear and real damage to confidence in the industry. And whilst this change is welcome, the fight is far from over. Because alongside the family farm tax, we’ve seen: •⁠ ⁠delinked payments slashed •⁠ ⁠SFI and capital grants paused •⁠ ⁠employers’ NI hiked •⁠ ⁠minimum wage increases without support •⁠ ⁠the double-cab pickup tax •⁠ ⁠fertiliser tax •⁠ ⁠and so much more… All of this has hammered farm cashflows and pushed too many businesses to breaking point. Farmers still face a mountain of challenges created by this government, and I will keep fighting until the entire policy is scrapped - and until British farmers get the respect and stability they deserve. We have committed to scrap the Family Farm Tax and the Family Business Tax if we are back in government - and that’s exactly what we will do.
