While visiting the Lincolnshire Show, Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative leader, articulated her critiques against the existing family farm tax, denouncing it as ‘cruel and immoral’. She gave assurances that her party would review and overturn the contentious policy, which she purports to have negative impacts on local farming societies. The local farming population, who have previously expressed their financial hardship due to the tax, warmly received her announcement. Badenoch’s pledge to tackle the issue puts a spotlight on her party’s dedication to supporting rural sectors and preserving the agrarian legacy of Lincolnshire.
