A 3 min tour de force by @grahamstuart on the family farms taxโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ
The Labour MPโs idiotic intervention shows they donโt get it. โ
Conservatives will reverse APR and BPR when back in govt. These taxes on family businesses harm the very people who create Britainโs wealth.

Reform UK's Councillor @McivorJaymey has failed to attend the Essex County Council budget meeting this morning. He was due to present a petition on the postponement of elections.
Could it be that yet again he is in arrears with his council tax?

I was proud to back a Conservative budget that delivers for residents.
Meanwhile, our local Reform Councillor missed budget full council againโฆ is there a reason why he canโt vote on the budget? ๐ค

Following an extraordinary council meeting held earlier today (10 January), Essex County Council, alongside Southend-on-Sea City Council and Thurrock Council, will write to the government to request inclusion on the governmentโs Priority Programme for devolution.
The councils will now formally put a request to the Minister for Local Government to be part of the Programme, which includes a commitment to local government reorganisation.
Essex County Council and Thurrock Council will also request the postponement of elections scheduled for May this year in their areas.
Southend-on-Sea City Council has no planned elections for 2025.
Leader of Essex County Council, Councillor Kevin Bentley, said:
"Following todayโs debate, we are one step closer in our ambition to bring devolution to Essex, and I want to express my gratitude to all the councillors who contributed.
"Today's meeting showed that despite our differing political views, we all want to make Essex as great as it can be for our residents and businesses.
"Devolution is key to making this happen. It presents us with an opportunity for growth and productivity across the county like no other.
"I would also like to thank our partners in Southend-on-Sea City Council and Thurrock Council for their continued collaboration. Together, we are embarking on a journey that will transform Essex for the better.โ
The councils will now wait to hear from the government on whether Greater Essex has been accepted as part of the Priority Programme for Devolution.

Today I spoke to thousands of farmers to relay a simple message๐
Labour donโt get farming. Their family farm tax is going to destroy farming as we know it.
If we want to reverse this, weโre going to have to fight.
