After a great visit to a farm in the Purbecks last week & alongside the latest Westminster tractor blockade I am hoping to speak in Parliament during the Westminster Hall Petitions Debate on the need to mitigate & modify plans on Agricultural & Business property relief

Good to meet farmers from North Dorset today at Church House to discuss the Government’s IHT bombshell. There is real anger that they were lied to. @NFUDorset

Today has been a hell of a day. 15 MPs across BBO lobbied to #StopTheFamilyFarmTax
And thousands outside in support our industry is hurting and people need to listen before it’s too late.
Thanks to all the MPs we have managed to see today.
Imagine there’ll be a government press release along later to explain that all of these folk are the landed gentry.

Really worth a listen. #stopthefamilyfarmtax
