A rural Labour MP has broken ranks with Sir Keir Starmer to demand the Prime Minister takes urgent action on the controversial inheritance tax raid on British farmers.


Henry Tufnell is one of three Labour MPs to have called for the Prime Minister to rethink plans to force more farms to pay 20 per cent inheritance tax on estates worth over £1million.


Tufnell, who was elected as the Labour MP for Mid & South Pembrokeshire last July, told today's Chopper's Political podcast that having a rethink on the plans is a "a fantastic opportunity for Labour, who've won a huge amount of rural seats, to come in and reset that relationship".
