Labour MP blasts Government over ‘tractor tax’ and net zero project in scathing takedown

A Labour MP has called on the Government to rethink its policies on inheritance tax and net zero.

In an exclusive interview with GB News, Henry Tufnell said proposed IHT changes on farming would be worse than the Treasury had predicted.

The Mid and South Pembrokeshire MP also blasted the Government’s net zero drive saying it was “devastating” and would create poverty.

During a wide-ranging interview with Gloria De Piero, Mr Tufnell also spoke for the first time about the death of his brother Carleton, 22, who took his own-life.

Calling on the Government to do more to tackle the issue of male suicide, he also said we need to be “more understanding” when dealing with poor mental health.

His call comes just days after an inquest heard how former boxing champion Ricky Hatton had taken his life.

His suicide followed a battle with poor mental health which Ricky had bravely spoken about many times following his retirement.
