Sir Keir Starmer

Sir Keir Starmer has faced questions from local BBC radio stations, including on Inheritance Tax, solar farms and whether he has a problem with rural Lincolnshire

Secretary of State Steve Reed said some landowners and farms will pay more inheritance tax as a result of the changes, but he said the Government wanted to 'support family farms'

Secretary of State Steve Reed said the roadmap would be focused on making farming and food production 'more profitable in the decades to come', and farmers will tell Government what they need to make a 'success of this vital transition'

Over 1,500 farmers sent out a clear message to their MPs at the NFU rally, demanding the family farm tax to be stopped and properly consulted on

The reforms to Agricultural Property Relief will be used to 'invest in our schools and health services that farmers and families in rural communities rely on'

Mr Bradshaw is expected to say: "I do not think I have ever seen the industry this angry, this disillusioned and this upset. And given what we have had to be angry about in recent years that is saying something"

A rumoured move in funding towards the Barnett formula would mean a UK Treasury model ‘calculates the amount of block grant each of the devolved nations should receive based on populations'

Defra Secretary Steve Reed said ‘the vast majority of farmers would not be affected at all by the changes', and urged farmers ‘not to believe every alarming claim or headline'

In a debate led by Conservative MP for Chester South and Eddisbury, Aphra Brandreth, she said the cause of stress for farmers, particularly more recently, has been Government policy

"I am totally committed to supporting our farmers"
