Badenoch slammed Labour's 'cruel farmers tax' during Prime Minister's Questions, accusing the party of not supporting farmers facing uncertainty due to inheritance tax changes.
Badenoch urged Starmer to reassure farmers about the impacts of inheritance tax changes, stating they would 'reverse Labour's cruel family farms tax'.
Sir Keir Starmer defended the budget increase for farming, highlighting a £5 billion investment over two years, while arguing most farmers will not be affected by inheritance changes.
Critics, including Dyson and farmers' representatives, have condemned Labour for supposed detrimental tax hikes affecting family businesses, with warnings about potential backlash from the farming community.
