- Wow - an incredibly powerful post and just awful to have to listen! I don’t use the word betrayal lightly but a whole generation, now in the twilight of their lives, that have given everything have been betrayed! Some people wonder why I’m a touch emotional at times!@ProagriLtd following on from your comment about the toll this is taking on people's mentality.
00:00 - We are seeing more and more retailers commit their support asking for @RachelReevesMP to consult on the changes to IHT. Great to see @asda publicly back the campaign.
- Thank you to all farmers and members of @NFUtweets team for coming out in force today and for all the members of the public that engaged!
00:00 - Once again Farmers are out in their thousands! Fighting for their farm, their future, their family and the ability to produce your food! This is an inhumane policy that cripples investment in the future of food production and must be looked at urgently!
- With up to 100 rural seats now held by Labour this is a critical moment. Will backbench Labour MPs represent their constituents or tow the party line?
- There are three critical elements to delivering this: 1) Every rural Labour MP needs to understand the impact and be willing to lobby Treasury 2) Public support is absolutely essential 3) The industry must stand united!There are a number of huge concerns facing the farming industry right now. But the main focus must continue to be the current campaign to get the government to reverse the inheritance tax on family farms. Let’s not lose or dilute this immediate focus. #AxeTheFamilyFarmTax
- Welcome to rural Essex. Absolute disgrace that people treat our countryside like this. @yourcolchester
- While all you lot are busy working Mrs Bradshaw has delivered this little gem. Pippa Emily and mum are doing brilliantly.
- Really significant to have another major buyer from British farming supporting the calls for a consultation and a pause to the implementation.🗣️ @Tesco: "We will be supporting the NFU's calls for a pause in the implementation of the policy, while a full consultation is carried out." Tesco said getting the issue around #InheritanceTax right will be a win for 'farmers, customers, the economy and the planet'. 🌾
- Just in case you still haven’t heard @RachelReevesMP! The devastating changes to Inheritance tax will have far reaching impacts for the structure of food production and farming. It is inhumane and discriminates against the elderly, single and widowed! Pls think again!Essex farmer Steve Crayston says his farming business will be devastated within the space of a few years by proposed Inheritance Tax changes. 'With a quick slash of a pen, our farm is not viable, like many farms around the country.' It's time to let farmers farm.
00:00 - As was always planned the NFU is organising a mass lobbying event where 1800 farmers sit down with their MPs to look them in the eye and challenge the #familyfarmtax The event below is complimentary, supporting food banks and making sure farming leaves a positive footprint!Farmers rally London 19th #WeJustWantToFeedYou Please RT #foodbank the sun have confused things @TheSun @thetimes @TWBFarms @JeremyClarkson
00:00 - Just trying to find the correct label: Regenerative Sustainable Integrated or possibly just Traditional mixed farming?
