Scrap the Family Farm Tax
The Government must scrap the disastrous Family Farm Tax immediately or risk ringing the death knell for family farms in Stratford-on-Avon.
Warwickshire farmers, having spent years being forced to endure botched trade deals and cuts to their incomes due to shameful policies from the previous Government, need support – not more policies that cause harm.
If the UK is serious about food production and food security, we cannot pursue anti-farming policies. Liberal Democrat MPs are arguing that we need to support the agricultural sector and back British farmers.
The Chancellor should urgently reverse course, scrap the Family Farm Tax and take up the Liberal Democrat proposals to give farmers an additional £1 billion a year in support.
Scrap the Family Farm Tax
If you are a farmer or simply someone who supports the agricultural sector, please sign Manuela's petition today, which will be taken to the Chancellor to show the depth of public opposition in rural areas to this policy.
