CDC LibDem leader failed to support my motion for Cotswold farmers. I asked him to write to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on behalf of CDC, asking her to consult with Defra, her own Government Department, the NFU, farmers and other industry experts before implementing the IHT on farms. Instead the leader kicked it down the road to be discussed by Overview & Scrutiny first. Why not do both? 😡

Let’s FACT CHECK the LibDem candidate.
He claims that “More and more people are backing” .. so first giveaway that’s something is wrong are the cold-weather gloves. We know the photo is from January 2022!
Then are the people he claims “local”? Definitely not. We’ve identified them and hardly any at all live in the North Cotswolds constituency!
LIBDEMS NOT LOCAL HERE!
