Good to meet farmers from North Dorset today at Church House to discuss the Government’s IHT bombshell. There is real anger that they were lied to. @NFUDorset

Today has been a hell of a day. 15 MPs across BBO lobbied to #StopTheFamilyFarmTax

And thousands outside in support our industry is hurting and people need to listen before it’s too late.

Thanks to all the MPs we have managed to see today.
