Hi Martin. This is security put in place by the QEII because there’s another event happening in the venue at the same time as ours which they were concerned would attract environmental protestors. It’s not related to our event.

I support the National Farmers Union's call for a pause on the government's proposed changes to inheritance tax.
We need time to gather information to determine the full impact the changes will have to family farms in Wales. Great to hear dairy farmer Carys Jones's story.

The NFU remains at the centre of the #StopTheFamilyFarmTax campaign as NFU President Tom Bradshaw (@ProagriLtd) gives evidence to @CommonsEFRA. Tom cited countless examples from farmers on the very real consequences the changes could have.

Read @nfutweets assessment of the APR changes announced in @RachelReevesMP budget. We expect 75% of commercial farms will be captured by this poorly thought out policy. And every farm will need to take professional advice. #thinkagain #APR nfuonline.com/updates-and-in…

Govt has not done an impact analysis on the Family Farm Tax. As @NFUtweets President @ProagriLtd said: “To launch a policy this destructive without taking to anyone involved in farming beggars belief.”
We’ve done what Ministers should have done weeks ago.

Labour must put #BritishFarmingFirst in this week’s budget.
Food security is national security but too many farmers are on brink of collapse.
That’s why I am joining our farmers, our food producers & @NFUtweets in calling on the Gov to maintain, if not enhance farming budget.
Andrew Clark retweeted
The Chancellor will deliver the Budget on 30 October.
At #NFU23, the Prime Minister gave a speech in which he committed to back British farming in government.
We now need him to live up to those commitments.
Add your voice. Write to your MP now👉ow.ly/slbo50TINVo
