Banner erected on the busy A388 take note β¦@annagelderdβ© your partyβs mistaken policy will rip apart a rural farming constituency like SE Cornwall. Remember SE Cornwall is the second biggest farming producing constituency in Cornwall

"Don't kill us. Let us fight our way out of this corner." How can @RachelReevesMP raise funds to support the economy? CLA President Victoria Vyvyan explains at @CommonsEFRA how #farms and #ruralbusinesses can help, but #APR and #BPR changes are not the answer. #FamilyFarmTax

If you have any doubt just how pernicious this family farm tax is, this should set you straight. Tomβs a tough cookie, all 6β4β of him. But heβs had the calls and met the people in this awful position and he feels it incredibly powerfully. Hugely proud to call this man my boss.

I feel so darned proud of every farmer who has driven their tractor to London today. They are the backbone of Britain. Any government that does not support them does not deserve to be in power. #SaveFamilyFarms
