NFU23: Sir Keir explains his vision for British farming
Opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer made Labour’s pitch for the farming vote with a keynote speech that included pledges on national food resilience, rural services, and, notably, on the food bought by schools, hospitals, prisons and Whitehall departments.
“The next Labour government will commit to this – 50% of all food purchased by the public sector will be food produced locally and sustainably,” Sir Keir told NFU23 delegates.
“That is £1.2 billion of public money spent on quality food that is genuinely better for peoples’ health.
“And 50% is just the minimum. We will do everything to go beyond it.
“We’re committed to reforming public procurement. And seasonal, sustainable, British-grown food is a key part of it.”

Big changes in the 2024 Budget have led to real anger on UK family farms. What’s going on?

In last week’s Budget, the new Labour Government introduced revised tax rates for Inheritance Tax. From April 2026, the 100% Agricultural Property relief will only be on the first £1,000,000, after that the rate will be 20%. This video explains why this is going to be so damaging to UK family farms.
