I think this is where a lot of modern politics and attitudes of MPs are flawed If you are a member of the party of government work smartly and pick the hills you are prepared to die on Listen to constituents. Engage with government. Build case studies and press for change when
Labour MP: “Another hill we’ve been forced to climb only to be marched back down again. This government is like being stuck in a room with ‘The Thick of It’ on repeat.”

The case for inheritance tax changes can be made without being “anti-farmer” Labour supports farmers and farm workers and always has The Clarkson’s and Dysons of this world want to portray us as “anti-farmer” don’t give them ammunition

@EmmaforWycombe @NFUtweets @SEANLWOODCOCK So important this is recognised - too much focus on noisy rebels and not enough on MPs beavering away in the background doing their job
No10 sources saying a small group of backbenchers led the engagement on the changes to farm inheritance tax with PM and HMT - including proposing the new thresholds. In particular they mention Starmer's PPS @Jon4HighPeak and others including @helenadollimore, @SEANLWOODCOCK

@EmmaforWycombe @NFUtweets Also a big #Christmas present for my mate @SEANLWOODCOCK (and other MPs) who I know has pushed do hard for these changes on behalf of farmers in his constituency Constructive dialogue might not attract cheers and free beers but it works
