So I'm here today supporting my local farmer, the farmers in the Farnham and Borden constituency,
00:05
who've been writing to me about the terrible impact that the Labour's change to the inheritance
00:10
tax is going to have on their local farmers. But it's not just inheritance tax, it's national
00:14
insurance contributions, it's minimum wage, and the government is claiming this is only
00:18
going to affect the big landowners, the corporates. It's not true. I've been talking to Bob, who's
00:23
a farmer from Rumford today, and he's absolutely devastated that he's perhaps going to have
00:27
to sell his farm, his son's not going to be able to inherit, and this is going to have
00:31
a really big impact, not just actually on the farmers, but actually on all of us, because
00:35
if we don't have food security, if we lose our small farmers, then we won't have the
00:39
people growing and producing food in our constituency, and that will hit us all.
00:44
And do you think it's been made worse possibly by the Brexit situation at all, the situation
00:50
of the farmers?
00:51
I mean, farming has always been tough, but why is the government making it tougher? I
00:55
mean, if they want to kill off small local farmers like the ones in my constituency,
00:59
then they're going the best way about it. So what I say to them is just rethink. You've
01:03
made a mistake, you've made a terrible mistake, but it's not too late to change your mind
01:07
and support farmers in this constituency.
01:09
And if anyone has any concerns, should just feel free for them to reach out to you?
01:13
Absolutely, come and speak to me. If they're members of the NFU, you can speak to them
01:16
as well, but I've been speaking to farmers across the constituency, and I'm very happy
01:21
to guide them to come see me, or me to go and see them and their farmers.
