Keir Starmer looked farmers in the eye and told them Labour would respect British farmers, that they would not introduce the damaging Family Farms Tax.
But Labour have broken their promise and insulted farmers by introducing the Family Farm Tax.This is the wrong decision. It will devastate family farms, put at risk British food security andincrease food prices and contribute to higher inflation.
Labour have made a political choice to target family farms and because they don’t understand businesses the impact of their Family Farm Tax will be felt, not just by the farmers they betrayed, but by families across the country paying higher prices.
