Labour — Wallasey

Speaking in the House of Commons on 18 December 2025

Debate

Agricultural and Business Property Relief: Food Prices

Contribution

This is a highly sensitive issue. The reasons for someone contemplating taking their own life are often very complex. My heart goes out to every family who is devastated by such events. I understand the pressures that farmers are under, but I have to say that the right hon. Lady’s way of making her point is very distasteful indeed.
