"Honoured to join farmers from Fareham and Waterlooville today in Westminster as we urge the Labour government to stop the family farm tax." – Suella Braverman MP
The plight of farmers across Fareham & Waterlooville were highlighted by their local MP in a major rally against Labour’s Family Farm Tax plans yesterday.
Despite Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Environment Secretary Steve Reed previously promising to protect farmers, under Government proposals, more than 100,000 farms across the country will be hit by new inheritance tax laws.
They will be devastating for family farms and pose a serious risk to domestic food security and food prices.
A petition at stopthefarmtax.com has been set up for people to back British farming and oppose the new tax.
