Twice in TV interviews this morning the Chancellor Rachel Reeves has been asked why she was happy to meet billionaires in Davos to listen to (and then act on) their concerns about the Budget, but has consistently refused to meet Britain’s farmers. It’s an excellent question …

Please RT..... @RachelReevesMP take note, you're becoming increasingly isolated with your current views & proposals on IHT. It's now time to consult and move forward.....

Another day of what-ifs after accountant meeting. Investment plans of £130k shelved What do we do? Dads ill, mums old. Can’t get insurance on Dad. Potentially means in the next 10yrs will be out as won’t be able to afford IHT amount. Mental hit is huge! 😞

NI changes (especially the min threshold at £5,000), NLW rises = lower pay rises, less investment, fewer jobs. All anti-growth, anti private enterprise before anyone mentions APR and BPR relief. Business confidence leaving the private sector.
Business confidence crashes to lowest level since pandemic after Reeves tax raid

Nail on the head by James Dyson - it is private small and medium enterprises that take the risks and fund state spending. Shocking that labour are facilitating a tax grab on home grown businesses whilst facilitating foreign investment (not subject to IHT).
This from James Dyson is a decent read and i’d agree with it. He has built a business strong enough to cope with most outside pressures but as he points out. The gamblers and the ones who have risked are the ones getting hit.

Petition: Call a General Election Over 500,000 signatures in just a few hours. The public have already had enough of a Labour government who have punished farmers, students, pensioners and small businesses. Please sign the petition and share it. https://t.co/kB4utzZWQ6

I would like there to be another General Election. I believe the current Labour Government have gone back on the promises they laid out in the lead up to the last election.

Please watch this video. Very like the conversations going on out in our pig pens. It is hard to articulate how deeply upset and let down farmers feel. Trying my best to keep healthy and not to die at the wrong time.
"I just don’t understand... if farming is such hard work with very little return, why farmers are so keen to continue farming?" My response... which is also why I believe this #FamilyFarmTax will have an impact on the whole country. New video @FlankFarm
