Mims Davies MP speaks with local farmers of EGU on family farm tax

Mims and thousands of farmers, including Jeremy Clarkson, came together in Westminster last week to demonstrate against Labour’s upcoming changes to how agricultural property is taxed.

The Metropolitan Police estimates around 10,000 attended a farming rally in Whitehall.

Mims knows after hearing from local farmers in East Grinstead, Uckfield and the villages, just how damaging Labour's terrible budget is and how crucial it was to join them in Westminster today protesting.

Mims Davies MP said: "It was good to hear from local farmers who had travelled up to Westminster from my constituency of East Grinstead, Uckfield and our villages today at Church House.

We discussed the Government's iniquitous IHT bombshell and the wider concerns for their production.

There is substantial anger, fear and uproar - that they were expressly told this would not happen.

The truth is that feeding the nation and continuing on into the future as custodians of their working farms is their absolute priority and they want the peace of mind back that they deserve from this misguided Labour government and it's a true budget of broken promises which attacks family businesses and small businesses as well as targets our pensioners and many more.

We must come together and stop this now.
