Farmers Guide

Concerns over inheritance tax, rising input costs, and food security are dominating conversations across UK farming.

We sat down with South Suffolk MP and Shadow Defence Secretary James Cartlidge to ask the questions farmers are asking — including whether current tax proposals risk breaking up viable family farms, how rising costs are affecting profitability, and what meaningful engagement with government should look like.

This interview puts farming at the centre of the political debate.
