I have always been a committed advocate for our rural, farming and agricultural communities and will always ensure their voice is heard in Westminster.
Today, Labour will see their chickens come home to roost. Thousands of farmers, farm staff and supporters from all generations and from across the UK are flocking to Westminster to protest against Labour’s Budget of Broken Promises.
Victoria spoke out on Labour's betrayal of our local farmers with their Family Farm Tax in the Budget. You can watch this online here.You can sign the petition against this at: http://stopthefarmtax.com/
It was fantastic to be at the NFU’s Back British Farming reception in parliament this morning alongside one of our local farmers and Lincolnshire NFU County Chairman Henry Moreton.Our farmers in Lincolnshire make a phenomenal contribution towards defending our nation’s food security.
It was brilliant to chat to some of our local young farmers this evening at The Bull in Horncastle.I’ve always been a passionate advocate for our agricultural community and it is brilliant to see the next generation coming up and championing our rural way of life.
It was brilliant to meet the NFU today and to talk about Conservative plans for food security, the future of farming and our continuing investment in flood defences.
