    The Labour MPs who could lose their seats for the tractor tax

    There’s a bunch of Labour MPs who could lose their seats because of the proposed tractor tax and most of them won by narrow margins. The Labour constituencies most unhappy about the ‘tractor tax’ – and the MPs who could lose their seats in the next general election.

    Analysis of a petition against plans to change rules on inheritance tax for farmers shows the Labour-held rural seats where resentment over the proposal is highest.

    Labour MPs who could lose their seats

    The Labour constituencies most unhappy about the ‘tractor tax’ – and the MPs who could lose their seats is where the Reform party are looking to convert. They are heavily invested in canvasing in those areas to convert the voters.

    Under the chancellor’s plan, a 20 per cent inheritance tax rate will be introduced on farms worth more than £1 million from April 2026. But it has sparked a furious backlash in farming communities and created a problem for many newly-elected Labour MPs in rural constituencies.

    Lose their seats for the tractor tax

    The top three MPs most likely to lose their seats for the tractor tax The Labour seat with the highest number of petition signatures (768) was Penrith and Solway, held by Markus Campbell-Savours.

    The Labour seat with the second highest number of signatures (686) was Montgomeryshire and Glyndŵr.The Labour MPs who could lose their seats for the tractor tax

    Third was the Derbyshire Dales, where MP John Whitby won the seat with a majority of just 350. A total of 666 people have signed the petition in his constituency.

    Liz Webster, founder of Save British Farming, which organised Monday’s tractor protest in Whitehall, said:

    “If they don’t have a rethink we will be going into a depression and they [Labour MPs] will pay for that. As we saw with the financial crisis in 2008, many Labour MPs lost their seats and this is going to be a lot worse than that.

    The battle for middle Britain has only just begun.
