A brilliant media round yesterday with @NFUtweets President Tom Bradshaw (@ProagriLtd) reacting to the news of the APR / BPR threshold increase 🎥🎙️

Thanks to all the hard working presenters, producers and technicians still in studio so close to Christmas!

After @10DowningStreet spoke to the @CommonsLiaison, many news outlets have highlighted the damaging impact of the family farm tax on working people, particularly elderly and vulnerable farmers.

There is still time for the government to take action to remove those most at risk from the eye of this storm.

BREAKING NEWS: We have heard from sources in Westminster that there will be a vote on Resolution 50 of the Finance Bill tonight, which is the part that relates to IHT.

We are working on this now, please stand by for more information here.

(1/5) Following the Chancellor’s Budget yesterday, Labour MPs have voiced their continuing concerns that the government’s Family Farm Tax will devastate farming businesses across England and Wales.

[NFU Political @NFUPolitical]

Labour MP @ToniaAntoniazzi is spot on.

The change made yesterday to transferrable allowances is welcomed but doesn't go far enough. We urge the Govt to listen to its backbenchers and make amendments to the Finance Bill to protect the elderly and the terminally ill.

Farmers produce the food the nation eats. Proposed IHT changes now threaten the future of many family farms.

Our latest confidence survey shows an all-time low. Will the government consider our clawback proposal?

Farmers won't give up.

Only in a year where #GiselePélicot holds 50 men who raped her to account does a rapist President get named Person of the Year (for the second time). The message is clear: misogyny rewards power, while survivors like Gisele fight to ensure #ShameMustChangeSides.
