Labour’s attack on family farms has been relentless. Raising inheritance tax will force farms to be broken up and divided just to keep them running.
This is nothing short of a betrayal against our agricultural industry and rural communities.
This campaign has now become a rural revolt against all forms of inheritance tax.
Labour promised not to raise taxes, to secure our borders, “smash the gangs” and grow the economy.
They have failed on every front. Now, we are all paying the price for Labour’s reckless policies and disregard for the British public.
Farming is the backbone of our country.
It provides essential food supply and sustains rural employment.
It is an industry we cannot afford to lose. Reform UK is committed to supporting British farmers by protecting their land and livelihoods.
Instead of punishing them with taxes and regulations, we should be incentivising farming and ensuring it remains a proud and thriving sector.
The farming industry provides 470,000 jobs nationwide and contributes over £11billion annually to the British economy.
When factoring in the broader food and drink supply chain, this figure rises to £120billion per year.
The attack on farming is not just a rural issue — it is a national issue. For Labour, the countryside is not just an afterthought.
They have total disdain for it. For Reform UK, it is a priority.
On Monday, I will meet 100 tractors on their journey to Whitehall as they congregate at Belmont Farm in north London.
My speech will challenge the Government’s attack on farmers and family businesses in Britain.
Labour wants this issue to go away. It’s up to us to keep on the pressure and back the Daily Express campaign.
