Mims said it was crucial she show her support for family farmers like Bella and her family who came to Parliament today with Vicky the cow, fighting the FamilyFarmTax that Labour are enforcing on them.
Families and futures like Bella's are under threat due to Labour introducing the FamilyFarmTax and we must all work together to protect our farmers and keep food on our tables.

As well as her support from November for the online petition: https://www.mimsdavies.org.uk/news/mims-davies-mp-stands-farmers-and-encourages-residents-sign-stop-farm-tax-petition
On top of Mims joining the march at the end of November with thousands of farmers, Conservative MPs and more against Labour's Budget of Broken Promises:
Mims Davies MP said: “I was outside Parliament today on the College Green alongside my Conservative colleagues to join family farmers like Bella and her family, as well as a very special guest - Vicky the cow.
Families like Bella's who have farms passed down from generations are absolutely aghast and rightly very panicked at Labour's FamilyFarmTax.
This is putting livelihoods and futures like Bella's and so many others at risk.
The petition out there to stop the FamilyFarmTax has gathered over a whopping 200,000 signatures and the Government need to listen.
We're not going to let this go. This is a threat to our rural communities and farmers way of life.
This is putting family businesses at risk and the next generation's future in harm’s way.
So, as I've been doing and will continue to do, this Christmas, please please remember to shop local and support our hard-working farmers who work 24/7 365 just to keep food on our tables. Let’s support them and show them how much we appreciate them.”
