Clive Bailye, a farmer, fears that Labour's inheritance tax may compel him to sell his farm, endangering its legacy for his son, Henry. His concerns reflect a broader sentiment among farmers, with only 20% of voters believing Labour cares for rural communities.

Bailye spoke of the emotional burden the tax imposes on farmers, who view their work as a vocation rather than a profit-driven enterprise. He noted the strain of supermarket pricing on their margins, suggesting that recent tax changes could push many farmers to the brink.
